Do you remember when our kids were little and they all participated in the DARE program? They were taught early "Just say 'NO' to drugs". The whole idea was to make the decision before hand. When you are put in a bad situation, you know the answer. You don't have to think. You just say 'NO'.
I was thinking on Sunday that this could be a great idea in all sorts of areas.
I remember an older lady in church telling a story about her and her husband. The day after they married was a Sunday. The husband woke up and turned to her. "Are we going to be a church going couple or not" She was confused. "of course we are" "Well I'm glad we made that decision!" They got ready, went to church, and never had to make that decision again. Wow, I had never thought of this. "Just say YES to church?"
What about other things in our lives. "Just say NO to all that chocolate"
Or "Just say YES to diet and exercise!" I don't know if it will work but.....it is food for thought!
