Gratitude - 52 Weeks of colour

A thought for the day

Its time to take action, for too long you have remained silent, you are sitting on a goldmine of wisdom and understanding. We are meant to pass on to the next generation our stories, those things that made us laugh the things we are grateful for, our understanding, don’t let it go untold!

Quote

Follow your heart like a flying stallion, Race with the sun to the edge of the night. Form your truth like a gold medallion, Dance in the circle of the love and the light. ...John Denver

Scripture

"Let my prayer be set before You as insense, the lifting of my hands as the evening sacrifice." Psalm141:2

What story do you need to tell?

Health - Creating in Faith

You never know what you got till its gone.....

Do you take your health for granted?, how could you make the most of it now?

When I was younger I was extremely active, from bike riding, gymnastics, athletics and tennis, I was always doing some sort of activity, it was as natural as breathing to be doing something. The older I got the activities seem to tale off, I started going to the gym and working out but keeping fit and healthy became more challenging due to changes in lifestyle and priorities. I never once gave a thought to not being able to do an activity due to pain or a physical ailment, I was young, felt invincible and had loads of years ahead of me to have to worry about not feeling well, or seeing those around me unwell.

Forward 20 or so years and you hear yourself complaining of this ailment, that pain, and a promise of looking after your body and no longer taking it for granted. When we see those around us unwell we begin to look at our own life in a different way. We are of the age now where we all know more and more people suffering from something, throwing new light on our own mortality.

We have to treasure our health put the right nutrients in and get the necessary exercise. We ask a lot of our bodies, expect a lot and yet we continue to let it run on empty, we have to decide that enough is enough! What of your spiritual health, are you spending time in the Word allowing it to minister to you, or like those takeaway packets and processed foods you ate last week are you expecting a quick spiritual fix to get you through the week?

Yes, in the past I made many promises to myself about getting fit, spending time and looking after myself, and I’ve also let myself down time and time again. What makes this time different?.... I’ve woken up, smelt the coffee, and want to make the most of every moment that I have left on this earth. I want to be able to run and not get weary, feel the fresh air in my lungs and the sun on my face, and most of all value the relationships I have! It can be done - it takes discipline, and determination, as simple as putting one foot in front of the other. You know where you want to be, you have to make the effort to get there, plan the journey, take the necessary provisions and keep on task.

It’s March and there is no time like the present to start.

Is it time you did an inventory of your physical, spiritual and emotional health? We have all got something in our lives that needs and over haul....what’s yours? Have a blessed week!

This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. Proverbs 3:8
