 A Sacred Gift

Look in the mirror. Your body is a sacred gift... your physical body. The design of the human body is incredible. It is a complex chemical and electrical process in motion... a pure miracle.  God created this body. God created your body.

Appearance is nothing compared to divine perfection.  I have lectured my adult kids on weight and taking care of themselves. I had to set the example this year and continue to try to lose a bit more. I was never heavy but I was heavier than I needed to be.  My clothes did not fit.  I was not taking care of the body God gave me.  Food choices and lack of exercise did their damage over the past eight years.  I had gained 25-30 pounds.  I was too thin when the weight gain started but I went soaring past the healthy weights... and I literally craved carbs, potatoes, pancakes, cookies ( I never ate sweets before with the exception of homemade cobbler).

Food is fuel for our body. Choosing healthy foods is your way for caring for the gift God has given you.  Your body is like His temple.  Just as you clean and care for your home, your car and your earthly stuff...it is time to care for your body and your health.  Caring for yourself enables you the ability to care for others.

Cut out your sugar today... try it for three weeks if you can. The craving will stop. That is a first step.

BUY AMERICAN....with every purchase you make take a few seconds and try to buy American.  Our debt can be reduced quicker by supporting our own country...no different than caring for your body above, care for your country. Support our businesses and workers. BUY AMERICAN.

"Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, Which you have from God."  1 Corinthians 6:19

Excellent words of wisdom. I've been more careful about my food intake and exercise but at my age, the weight is harder to maintain. Ugh! I haven't cut out sugar entirely yet, but do make wiser food choices.

Absolutely Buy American!!! Thanks for these reminders. Have a wonderful day. Blessings, SusanD

A Bit of Wonder Contemporary Horse Oil Daily Painting Art by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 30 x 2 inches of thick buttery oils! Contact me to purchase: Laurie "This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it". Psalm 118:24 It was a day of celebration yesterday as Lauren Gracen was born. Stacey began her labor around nine in the morning and was ready to push by 12:15, but they held her off while getting things set up. Took four good contractions with multiple pushes and the baby was there! All grandparents accounted for to count the toes and fingers! My admiration is for my daughter and her bravery and calmness despite the tension and newness of what she faced. I was honored to be there as the baby was delivered seeing my granddaughter push out into the light and take her first breathe... and then cry... and that she did. Terry was able to participate and he and Larry helped with pushing and getting Stacey upright for the process and then Terry was hon...

Arrival...Refrigerator?

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Arrival Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whtever you do, and he will establish your plans."   Worrisome times laced with prayers.   The world seems like a scary place lately. Praying for everyone affected by the last two hurricanes.  My adventures today were the result of a dead refrigerator. I have loved my Kitchen Aid refrigerator very much. The first one in the 'French Kitchen' look died at 13 months. Hubby wanted the same refrigerator. Well this one made it four years and a few months. I cannot believe appliances are not made to last longer...but wait, is that because they make more money if we have to replace it in 4-5 years?  You replace your mattress at least every 7 years... and your washer dryer, you might get 7 years out of those... The stoves seem to make it closer to 10 years. We are Lowe's customers, and Robert ...
