Food for Thought
Food for thought means something to consider.
What we consider may come from:
- Our own minds
- Something we see or read
- An event
- Another person (They offer information, or we pick their brain.)
All make us think about an idea.
Much like we digest food in our stomachs, we digest food for thought in our minds.
The digestion process may be easy or hard. We enjoy easy thoughts. However, we probably gain more from the hard ones.
Food we eat may give us food for thought.
Most of us enjoy food. It fills our stomachs and takes away our hunger. In addition, food offers:
- Fellowship
- Comfort
- Fun
- Learning opportunities
Some people have slim pickings in food. Others of us enjoy more food than we need. Rather than keeping it all for ourselves, perhaps we should consider giving more away. What better way to show an attitude of gratitude?
By sharing with others, our thoughts become action.
Please comment below with your ideas for putting thoughts into actions.
“Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things” (Philippians 4:8 NIV).
