"The cheerful heart
has a continual feast."
Proverbs 15:15
Baby Girl eats with gusto. Now, I like food, and I actually think about it quite a bit. The munchkins get hungry around here and expect three square meals a day and a snack in between. I enjoy planning, preparing and partaking of deliciousness. But I don't always relish it the way Baby Girl does. She digs in with no thoughts of decorum. She doesn't worry about what other people think of her as she enjoys her meals. She even makes noises sometimes when it's particularly delightful, and her face beams her pleasure.
She feasts. Continually.
She feasts like I wish to live in Christ: unashamed, unhindered, undignified, and with unadulterated joy. I want to be satisfied and happy in the God I worship. Always.
"I will celebrate before the LORD. I will become even more undignified than this" (2 Samuel 6:21-22).
I'm digging into His Word today with both hands and my whole heart. Care to join me?

She is awesome, love these pictures. Your words are sweetness to His heart, bless you.
excellent comparison. And, a pretty cute little baby girl also.
AGAIN, this is PRICELESS! I LOVE this analogy! If we would 'eat' and 'enjoy' and 'appreciate' and 'savor' the way she is, what appreciation we'd have for the One who gives it all!
I will take this with me ALL day!
I've been blessed!
Priceless expression on her!
peace,

Precious. I love Wednesday on your blog. :)
How precious!! This was awesome...
She's adorable, and I love the scripture you used.
Makes me hungry for HIM!!!!
Have a blessed WFW today!
Oh, that is just too cute!! She is not concerned about being undignified is she? That's why God says to come to Him as a little child! Thanks for sharing. And thanks for stopping by my place. It's always good to "see" you! :)
This was all so precious...those sparkling eyes...so enraptured...I have to wonder if He sees me that way? Oh, I hope so....
You are a woman after my own heart! Make it about food, and I will *get* it! ;)
I love the verses about God being our portion ... and there's no need for portion control!!
Hope you have a blessed day today!
i am so reserved...even when it comes to worshipping my God. i need to just stop worrying about the "butter on my face" and relish in the joy about the love that He has for me! perfect picture to illustrate a wonderful point. thank you as always!!
sooooo precious
He is our BREAD!
I TOTALLY love this!!! What a great illustration! Aren't our little ones always great teachers? :)
Thank you for this awesome reminder!!!! I love the word "feasting" and all that goes along with it! Can't believe we serve such a God like this!!
OMGOSH, I could just eat that little one up, she is just so adorable!!!! Oh, to be even more undignified before our Lord, relishing Him with gusto and those mmMmm noises! Such a great post that we all need to take to heart!
oh that is sooo good! I love the true essence of this post!
hugs & prayers!
happy WFW!
She is a little doll. Great way to compare the scripture to life.
Thanks for sharing.

So cute! Such great photos to go with this verse. Thanks for sharing.
Super cute WFW!
What a cutey-pie! I love her exhuberance in cheerfully feasting! Our 2 year old grandson tried to eat soup with his fingers today; he thought it was great! His mommy got him a spoon and he loved that too! Such joy! I want to always feast upon His Word and to worship Him with relish!
In joy,
Laurie
Ohhhhh, what a cutie pie! And thank you for the thought-provoking and encouraging Bible verses. Definitely "food for thought." (Yup - pun definitely intended :)
Precious baby girl and a great analogy of feasting on Jesus.
Blessings,

Aw, that is so cute! Thanks for sharing your wee one with us.
That is so precious. We are supposed to be like a little child. :)
Oh she's just too cute and a great verse combination.
That is darling!
Awesome! I love the verse from David in Samuel- to worship God with recklessness- it is child-like.
She is beautiful! What a sweet little baby girl! : ) Great verse and thought for the day too! Jesus is the best!
Cuteness personified! Sweet pics.
Now, I'm off to feast on the Word... (((Hugs)))
Just happened upon your blog via SITS and I wanted to say what a blessing it is!! God is surely glorified.
Blessings,

I absolutely love this! I wish I could watch her eat. I have been known to make delicious noises when something is divine tasting as well. That's a girl after my own heart. Gorgeous!
Your daughter is a girl after my own heart. I. Love. Food. Great pics too.
P.S. I just gave you an award on my blog!
