Saturday Writing..."BE HEALTHY"...4/14/18

Good Morning,

The theme today is wellness of all types as it affects us in all aspects of living. Carol wrote, "You will be blessed with better health if you think as God's Word suggests -- on whatever is right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy.  Think on these positive and uplifting things and you will be less stressed, more relaxed and peaceful, and ultimately happier."

This is something to think about and toward which to work. May you find the miracle of this thinking.

"BE HEALTHY"
 by
Carol Steficek

                                                

"My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words.  

Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; 

for they are life to those who find them 

and health to a man's whole body." 

Proverbs 4:20-22

    

One of my biggest frustrations as a nurse is how compartmentalized medical care has become.  I grew up in the days of a general practitioner who came to the house for emergencies and managed the family's total health needs in his office.

     
I realize that knowledge has grown exponentially, and no one physician can know it all anymore. However, there are areas that need attention when a person is ill which are often neglected.  One significant area is spiritual.

    

Since we are composed of body, mind, and spirit (soul) we cannot fully care for our bodies if we neglect the mind and spirit.  God expressly says that knowing His Word means health to a man's whole body.  We generally become what we think about. 

You can choose healthy thought or always focus on the negative and watch your body react either way.  You will be blessed with better health if you think as God's Word suggests -- think on whatever is right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy.  Think on these positive and uplifting things and you will be less stressed, more relaxed and peaceful, and ultimately happier.

Well-being and health
must be found in body, mind, and spirit.
We are created by God with those three elements.
Since we are the temple where the Lord resides it is
our responsibility to keep the temple as healthy as possible
