Lately, we've been trying to revamp our diet a bit. Nothing too trendy or extreme (what exactly is a GMO, anyway?!) - basically just trying to incorporate more fruits and veggies, and less junk. Because soon, Lydia will be eating what we eat. And we are responsible for what we put in her little body.
I was thinking about this the other day while grocery shopping (no doubt while scouring labels for hidden GMO-carcinogen-things). I was thinking about how, while it is important what food we give her, it is infinitely more important what we feed her soul. The values we impart in her, and the kind of example we are for her... it matters.
I think about this as she's crawling around on the floor as we watch T.V. - what is she hearing and seeing? It matters. I think about this as I get impatient with her when she won't stop crying - what is my attitude teaching her? It matters.
At the end of the day, I think I could live with having a daughter who ends up hopelessly addicted to Big Macs. I just hope she is a Jesus-loving fast-food fanatic. That's what matters.
