A TEMPLE: IS IT REALLY!

“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

For ye are bought with a price: therefore, glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.” I Corinthians 6:19,20.

In actuality the longer I live, the more grateful that God enabled my husband, Eric and me to overcome cancer. We had been exercising intensely for years and had been eating carefully. What causes these scary, life-threatening diseases…

Some are understood well enough. Some are total mysteries still.

What do we do about both? It might be that for all of them, what we can do is eat well, drink enough water and exercise. Yes, we, most of us know what to do.

I find that the hardest part, (though some powerful foods like the benefits of whole grains are not well known) is to follow the wisdom we know.

But the whole pursuit of healthy food can become an interesting challenge. Remembering to think on it! Go to the Bible for plenty of recommendations (you can remedy the “unknowns” by beginning to read it with food in mind).

Instead of running to McDonalds for a burger and fries for lunch, we eat an apple, a tangerine, peeled carrots and celery with natural peanut butter or something like it.

Getting on track and in the habit, it happens when the grocery list is written, the grocery store is shopped and the food stored in good containers in the refrigerator.

The older you get (by the grace of God) the more grateful you will be…the earlier in life you start the happier.
