Growing up, my mom made a hot breakfast every Saturday and Sunday. Sometimes I would put a slice of cheese on my eggs.
Out of nowhere… I wanted some cheese on my eggs. So, I made breakfast this morning and added the cheese. As I’m sitting here eating a breakfast reminiscent of my childhood, the very thing I used to enjoy, I realize I don’t have the same taste that I used to. I didn’t want to waste my efforts, so of course I ate them.
But, I can’t help but to think of how sometimes we find ourselves returning to things of our past that made us happy then only to find out that we’ve outgrown them. Our taste has changed over the years as we’ve matured, expanded our palates, and have come to love new things through new experiences.
I think of 2 scriptures…
2 Corinthians 5:17 – That means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
And
1 Corinthians 13:11 – When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things.
Throughout life, the things we do tend to fit that time.
When we come into a relationship with Christ and we grow in our relationships and start to focus on living a life that pleases God… the old things that used to fit our previous life will no longer fit.
Like how my adult self feels about those cheese eggs from my childhood.
Ha! Be blessed.
