Blessing 46 - Cracker Jack

Tastes Just as Good as You Remember!

As it turned out, I never got my Pink Popcorn. But I did eat some Cracker Jacks today! It was just as fun eating them as it was trying to dig out the prize inside! Now that's something that you won't get from Pink Popcorn...a prize! There's always something to be positive about and thankful for when you can't have what you really want. Sometimes, what you end up with may actually come with an unexpected and sweet surprise. Sometimes, it may actually have a greater blessing for you. Sometimes, God brings someone into your life to help you see other alternatives to your desires...and I am so grateful for that!

The little quote at the bottom of the Cracker Jack Box reads "Taste Just as Good as You Remember!" The first piece of popcorn that I ate did bring back nice memories as a child...not to mention that it did taste pretty good! I remember wishing for that Cracker Jack ring or those fun tattoos all the time!

When I remember what the Lord Jesus has done for me, I can't help but praise Him for His faithfulness and goodness in all my days. As I feast upon God's Word, each verse is like a sweet morsel within my heart and mind. When it's hard for me to remain content, I immediately think back on how great He has been and how wonderful He continues to be. Even though I may not always get what I want, I know He will always have the best in store for me.

Psalm 34:8
Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
