This morning I watched as a young lady refilled the "snack closet" in my workplace.
On the box for the snacks was written, "Snack Nation"
I had to stop and think about that... what is a Snack Nation?
Maybe it's the writer in me, but I just could not get over that combination of words. I mean, good, fun... even tasty, all seem to be proper adjectives to describe, well, snack food.
But Snack Nation? When I do a quick Google search, the definition that comes up is,
"na·tionˈnāSH(ə)n/
noun
a large aggregate of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory."
Snack Nation? Really, that seems a bit grand doesn't it?
We so easily throw words out these days, just think of all the examples of it, words like awesome, amazing, or love...
How about about something very common like... Lord? When we use that word, do we mean it? Again, my trusted resource Google helps me with the definition,
"lord
lôrd/
noun
someone or something having power, authority, or influence; a master or ruler."
Maybe we should stop and think about our words, perhaps borrow these from the psalmist before we start our day.
"May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer." Psalm 19:14 (NIV)
