Perhaps you remember my post about Madeline<\/a> in December of 2011?\u00a0 Maybe not. But for both of you that read the blog back then it should ring a bell.\u00a0 Please take a moment and go take a look at it right now and then we’ll continue below the fold.<\/p>\n

Now that you’re refreshed on the topic, I have to ask: What’s the difference between these two bags?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

There are bags and then there are bags.<\/p><\/div>\n

Fine. You’ll never guess so I’ll have to tell you: about a 100:1 cost difference.<\/p>\n

One of the bags contains food, the other one contains food for the soul.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Cherry pies versus soul food.<\/p><\/div>\n

Yes, after neglecting to get off my duff for the past year I went out and got 53 gift cards. I have the greeting cards and the gift cards\u00a0and I will get busy\u00a0filling out the cards starting next week. Each card will have a unique message.<\/p>\n

Loneliness and sadness can be treated. You might not cure them, but you can treat them. And while I’m not proud of dragging my feet for a whole year (I ordered the cards right away, never quite got to McDonalds for the gift cards) I am pretty happy that I am on the right track now.<\/p>\n

That’s what His love is about. You might not be on the right track but he gives you the chance to fix it if you want.\u00a0 What promise have you made that you never quite got around to completing?\u00a0 And why not take care of it today?<\/p>\n

Be blessed. More soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
