peace.

"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful."

Colossians 3:15

P.

Purpose.

A purpose to why we eat, to nourish and sustain our bodies for a purpose, to live the life God has given, fully.

E.

Enjoy.

Its enjoyable to eat! To make food, cook, create..

Enjoy the taste buds God gave to us, to share with others the pleasure of food, to enjoy the sustenance and joy of being able to taste exciting and wow flavours and textures!

A.

Acceptance.

As a child of God who is always loved, no matter what number on that scale, no matter how much I feel defeated, shame, hopelessness... 

Acceptance from God. Not this world, or its ideals of beauty.

Accepted by Jesus, Adored by Jesus.

C.

Content.

Not stuffed, satisfied. Content physically in the present.

Consistent in knowing how to care and nourish my body, not depriving, not feeling guilty.

Calm. Take the time to collect the moment, to embrace the experience and taste.

Continually remember, we were made to consume food, but not for food to consume us.

Content in Christ.

E.

Eucharisteo.

Thanksgiving...joy and grace. Thanks God for nourishing me with food, for sustaining me through Your word, thanks for life, for purpose, for hope, for love, for Jesus. Thanks!
