2 Thessalonians 3:16 - NLT
May the Lord of peace himself always give you his peace no matter what happens. The Lord be with you all.
Ted felt the material rip the moment he bent over. Funny, that never happened a few years ago. Either his clothes were all shrinking or he was filling out a bit. There was just one thing to do about it: He was going to have to lose a few pounds. He'd done it before; he could do it again. A little willpower, a little patience, and a few prayers for strength. Ted was a man who knew his God and believed He would help out. He had never doubted Him, and God had never let him down. It was nice to feel so confident about some-thing. Dieting was easy when you were positive that God would help you work things out.
Today's Thought: I'm going to wear clothes I haven't fit into in years!
