Life is a Box of Chocolates

They say that life is a box of chocolates.....If you describe what a box of chocolate means in its significant state, words like smooth & creamy textures, Loved, Delicious, Cherished, Thought of, Wanted, and Special are just a few that would come to mind. But if we look at it through the phrase "a box of chocolates" doesn't always mean something positive. A box of chocolates if ate all at once would actually become negative; one would gain weight, feel sick from the sugar bomb to their stomach, have a caffeine headache, wouldn't enjoy the 20th bite as much as the first few, bite into something that is not what you expected, maybe the box of chocolates wasn't what you expected -dark choc rather than milk choc, or cherry filling-. So if Life was "Like a Box of Chocolates" would we become numb to the mountain top experiences of the first bite by the monotonous consistency of what we were eating? The unbalanced box of chocolates experience is empty, unsatisfying. We cant experience mountain top all the time without becoming numb, and we cant hurrying up life to experience the last bite because we would forget what we are eating at each bite along the way. So with balance we experience each blessing with a single bite at a time. We get to know what we are missing when we are not eating chocolates, and we get to look forward to experiencing that taste again. We have to cherish each moment for we don't know when its our last. So life can be like "A box of Chocolates" as long as you balance your consumption. To have this balance you trust that God will supply the chocolates, will carry you through each day, will remain true to His promises of who HE is and take each moment like its your last. Cherish Life, cherish those who are in your life and eat some delicious chocolate!
