There were all sorts of chocolate candy on those shelves. I just froze
and stared at all of that CHOCOLATE and let the ambience fill my mind. 

My wife cannot eat chocolate for some reason, but I love chocolate.
We've not had chocolate in the house since before the pandemic, which 
may explain my nervous feelings. Nothing is more soothing and 
comforting to me than a cup of Joe in one hand and the delicious 
chocolate candy bar in the other hand. 

My only problem at this point was what not to buy. The chocolate that I
love the most is the one I'm eating at the time. 

Not being judgmental, I selected one piece of chocolate from every shelf
in that aisle. I filled my basket with chocolate candy. When I got to 
the cashier's counter, there seemed to be a huge weight lifted off me, 
and there seemed to come into my life a peace that I had not 
experienced for some time. 

Driving home, I began to think about how I will get all of this
chocolate past my wife. I quickly put that aside focused on the 
delicious piece of chocolate I was eating at the time. 

I thought of a wonderful verse of Scripture. “Those things, which ye
have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the 
God of peace shall be with you” (Philippians 4:9). 

God's peace is the thing that most people are missing from their life
today.
