Reflection for June 27, 2017

"Therefore I urge you to take some food, for it will help you survive; for none of you will lose a hair from your heads.” (Acts 27:34)

All of us have ways we cope with stress.  When I'm overstressed I tend to eat, in fact I over eat.  So I can't imagine not eating because I was anxious, perhaps if I was just really busy, and then still not for even a whole day.

Sadly most of our coping mechanisms aren't usually very healthy or helpful. But unless we are on a hunger strike not eating won't help us get through whatever is going on.  We need bread for the journey.

Blessings,
