If I rely on my “own understanding” I won’t be able to afford the direction I will be going.

I'm very careful to get a cup of coffee when I eat an Apple Fritter to
hide any smell it might leave on me. So I need to work this out. 

The next day I did not have an Apple Fritter the whole day. So when I
came home and was greeted with a kiss, I heard nothing about an Apple 
Fritter from my wife. 

How does she know when I have and don't have one? 

The next day I did have one. When I came home and was greeted with a
kiss, as soon as I walked away, she said, “How was your Apple Fritter 
today?” 

I decided I needed to address the subject before it went any further. 

Looking at her, I said, “What makes you think I had an Apple Fritter the
day?” 

With one of her smiles on her face, she replied, “Every time I kiss you,
I can smell if you've had an Apple Fritter during the day.” 

All I could do was just stare with no words coming out of my open mouth.


“You may think,” she said, “that you can get away with it. But not
around me.” 

Now I have a situation I will not be able to clear up for a long time. I
wonder if there is anything like industrial-strength peppermints? 

I was reminded of my favorite Bible verse. Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the
Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” 

If I rely on my “own understanding” I won't be able to afford the
direction I will be going.
