The Ultimate Portion Guide

When it comes to nourishment, a portion guide is a helpful tool.

It returns us to benchmarks of balance and stability.

It reminds us to contemplate our needs versus our wants.

It serves a reliable reference.

How handy!

Ah, but the ultimate portion guide below, author unknown,

hangs in my kitchen

near the measuring cups.

It was a chance finding and a true gift which must be shared.

Instead of a recipe exchange, think of it as a portion guide exchange!

And it just happens to be the remedy

when we have over-portioned ourselves

in fear,

in self-doubt,

in thoughts of not-enough,

in thoughts of won't get enough,

in thoughts of never having enough,

or

in thoughts of being too much...too hot to handle, perhaps.

Feel free to give it a try...

and pass it on.

Let God Be the Measure.

Let the grace of the Lord be the measure of your sufficiency;

Let the peace of the Lord be the measure of your quietness;

Let the power of the Lord be the measure of your strength;

Let the goodness of the Lord be the measure of your contentment;

Let the love of the Lord be the measure of your service;

Let the faithfulness of the Lord be the measure of your trust;

Let the beauty of the Lord be the measure of your worship;

Let the fullness of the Lord be the measure of your joy;

Let the sovereignty of the Lord be the measure of your confidence;

Let the promises of the Lord be the measure of your expectations;

Let the coming of the Lord be the measure of your hope.

You are my portion, O Lord. Psalm 119:57
