If I was a vegetarian I would starve to death. My repertoire of veggies is sorely limited to: corn, potatoes, broccoli, tomatoes (which is technically a fruit), celery and lettuce. That’s it. I refuse to apologize to my children for having limited their formative years to believing that those were the only veggies in existence. Why? Because they developed their own sense of taste over the years and have moved beyond the restrictions my palate placed on them and have embraced many veggies that you’d have to put a gun to my head for me to try. Yeah! That’s right. Some of them I’ve never even tried!
I’m not ignorant of the fact that eating vegetables is important to my health so, I try and scarf down a V-8 once in a while. I noticed this wild commercial on TV for V-Fusion. THEY said that I could get my serving of veggies in a fruit drink and not even taste the vegetables. I bought a HUGE bottle of Strawberry Banana V-Fusion. THEY LIED. I distinctly tasted carrot in my first gulp. Some things should never mix – they just weren’t meant to be.
So . . . I have this acquaintance who has fallen head over heals with someone who doesn’t believe in God. I didn’t even know she was dating him. She told me not to worry. She knows that Christians are not supposed to be unequally yoked but she “has it all under control.” What can I say. She’s already acquainted with the biblical perspective and the reasoning behind it. All I can do is continue to love her, meet him and love him, and pray to Almighty God that He works a miracle.
This past weekend she told me they went to see a psychic who believes they were “meant to be.” And there we have it. Some things should never mix. So, I’m praying for wisdom and understanding and a couple of pounds of unrelenting grace. I just hope she notices the taste of carrot in her fruit drink sooner rather than later.
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails,” 1 Corinthians 14:4-8 NIV.
