Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...wherever in the world you live! I hear you're a chocoholic too - I won't tell a soul! Chocolate is good for the body - and God's Word is good for the soul: "O taste and see that the Lord is good...(Psalm 34:8 KJV)." So please join me for a few moments of fun, food and inspiration - it's all calorie-free (believe that and I'll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge) and might even make your day!

Bible Byte 'n Chocolate Chew for Today: "My Boys...Believe It or Not!"

NOTE: You may need to access this search page to access the Scripture reading below. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Daily Manna's Bible reading: Matthew 7:7-11 (NIV) . . . Visit Bible Gateway every day!

Years ago, I was part of an Easter musicale, "The Witness," and sang, "My Boys," as the mother of James and John, recommending them to be enthroned next to Him in heaven. It was a fun, exciting performance; however, little did I know some day, believe it or not, I would be singing "My Boys" to anyone who would listen!

You see, I love Joey and Jason, now young adult characters I once (or TWICE!) carried for nine months. I love to talk about them, to do nice things for them, to burst buttons in pride at their accomplishments. They's MY boys (well, OUR boys!!), and I'm there for them - usually, except possibly at 4 a.m. when Joey invites me to a telesopic show - or when Jason hands me a birthday present wrapped in the obituary page of the paper!!

We won't mention the messes either - if you have kids, you understand - but when the last pizza is gobbled up, the last mess cleaned up, and they head back to graduate schools, believe it or not, they're STILL my boys....should they ask me for a dollar, I'll not give them a dead fish (though, come to think of it, they'd find it fascinating!). If they need a hug, a listening ear or a word of encouragement, they'll not get a stone-cold shoulder. Mama is there...and they know it.

Our Heavenly Father wants US to know it and believe too - this day. Be it a problem, a puzzle, a pain, He knows and He cares. He will be there to comfort, to encourage, to surprise, to understand. Whatever you need today, your Heavenly Father is there! Believe it or not - it's true! Receive it, remember it, and have a wonderful choco-rich, delightful, spring day!

P.S. My boys will be back for Mother's Day - better stock up the fridge - and get ready for the next lovely mess - Mama will be there!!
