It is all about you - Today I am going to forget about me and concentrate on you. What would that look like? Instead of obsessing over my troubles or disappointments I am going to think about and pray for you.
I know from experience that when I serve others or help someone out, I feel good about myself. I also know that when I feel good about myself I do not struggle with my eating and all the fears associated with that. It may be because I am busy or focused outward. It may be that I am filling a void that I have, while also helping a friend in need.
So, who can I pray for today, who can I encourage, who can I share my struggles with as a way of offering hope and camaraderie?
Scripture encouragement for today is from 1 John 4:18 (NIV) "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."

You have made such a good point, Judy. The more I get out of myself, the more I get over myself and all the things I stress about which leads to grazing. If I'm focusing on others, I don't have time to worry about today, it takes care of itself. Thank you! Glad you are back from your trip. See you soon
