“There is nothing better for a person than that he should eat and drink and find enjoyment in his toil” (Ecclesiastes 2:24).

Little kids know all about this. They live in the moment. They will devote all their energy and attention to a donut in a donut shop as if nothing else in the world matters or exists. Every sprinkle is important. Icing is meant to be gently licked. They have all the time in the world.

Me? A donut is three bites. In the car. On the way to…wherever. Big bite, fast chew, hard swallow, rinse and repeat.

i just want to slow down. Just sit and eat the donut. Savor each individual sprinkle. Enjoy every lick of icing. Leave the rest for someone else.

I want to savor every moment, bite, sip, and swallow.
