Isaiah 41:10 - NLT
Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.
The evening was the worst. About an hour before bedtime, Eleanor would begin to get cravings. The worst possible thing to do would be to eat right before bed. Sometimes her stomach would growl so much that she thought she would wake up the neighborhood. On those occasions, Eleanor asked God for a little quick relief and went straight to bed. Better that than to pig out and feel lousy the rest of the night and guilty all the following day! God can grant us blessed relief from the whinings of the stomach. He can take our mind off our stomachs and give us the strength to say no!
Today's Thought: The waistline won't grow if I learn to say no!

Hold the mayo and opt for high-quality mustard. A delicious, flavor-packed substitute, mustards are the perfect base for a tangy dipping sauce, zippy salad dressing or classic sandwich spread. There are so many varieties out there for enticing your taste buds -- try Dijon, country-style, honey mustard and even fruity versions.
