So beautifully spoken Lisa. Though I don’t have any food allergies, I have rotten IBS, and anything acts me up. This is so touching and full of modeling Christlikeness.
I love that you shared this with Sweet Tea & Friends this month my friend.

Lisa, you have beautifully illustrated a statement that I use often but don’t know where I first read it, “It’s not burdensome when it’s love driven.”

Oh absolutely! We are pretty fortunate that none of our kids have any food allergies but I do have a few family members that do and I’m always on high alert when they come to visit making sure that everything I feed them is Okay!

My grandson was allergic to corn and it’s in so much of our food in the US. reading labels made shopping take longer. Learning all the different forms of corn was surprising. But, we remain diligent and read labels because we love our grandchildren more than chocolate. So much more.

We have a family member allergic to tree nuts. She doesn’t even need to ingest it to react. This is a wonderful example of the lengths we will go to protect our loved ones. “Love trumps chocolate.” May we remember that love trumps everything!

‘ Love trumps chocolate.’

I’m going to keep this truth front and center as I started WW (again) this week …

Lisa, I loved this. Do I love chocolate? YES. But I love my three men (Hubs and two sons) way more. When my guys were little, they both had food allergies. Between mine and theirs, I became a very creative cook and baker. It’s not easy, but it’s oh, so worth it.

A perfect picture of “what love does” and how it will change our thinking and perspective! I will think of it each time I eat some of those yummy M&Ms:)

Lisa I undersand! ?
Although I’m the Celiac & the Lactose Intolerant one in our family, so I mainly take my own meals & snacks with me wherever I go, that I’ve prepared in my gluten free & dairy free kitchen. That frees up others so as to not to have to worry that they will cause a reaction because of gluten or dairy contamination.
Visiting from Paula’s today ?
Blessings, Jennifer
