Later that day, I heard The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage pull into
the driveway. Soon, she was at the door and walked in. As usual, she 
came over to kiss me, and I welcomed her back home. 

Then she stopped, turned around, and looked at me with one of her looks.
That kind of look told me I was in some trouble. I could not figure out 
the trouble, but there it was. 

"Oh my," she groaned as she stared at me. "I'm starting to get a
headache. You did not have any chocolate candy today, did you?" 

"What makes you say that?" I said as nicely as possible. 

"When I kissed you I tasted chocolate. Did you have a chocolate bar
while I was gone?" 

All the stress I got rid of with my chocolate bar is now back because of
that chocolate bar. For the life of me, I certainly cannot sort this 
out. 

I then thought of one of my favorite scriptures. “Be careful for
nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with 
thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of 
God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds 
through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7). 

Comfort food is temporary, but "the peace of God" endures forever. When
I give my stress to God, He is dependable and will watch over my heart 
and mind.
