Recording artist, Amy Grant, has a song entitled,
"It Takes a Little Time."
I still remember the first time that I really
heard that song. A phrase was playing over
and over in my head: My dad used to call me,
as a kid, "Two Ton Tess." Now, I don't know
why he called me that -- he was a great Dad
in a thousand ways! He was the best Dad ever.
But he had this thing about fat, and so he
would call me, "Two Ton Tess." Well, that
didn't help my self esteem much now, did it?
But I remember hearing Amy Grant's song. And
I remember just dancing around my kitchen
thinking, "Right! It takes a little time.
It takes a little time sometimes!" And in
that song, here is the phrase that I want
you to think about today -
"It takes a little
time, sometimes,
To get the Titanic turned back around.
It takes more then you've got right now,
But give it time!"
Don't just give it time, give it this focused attention on learning the habit of eating with gratitude.
You have fun! Have a great day!
