The 3 R's

Body maintenance is certainly important ,but we rarely think of it in the light of an element of our spirituality.
clipped from e5.email.myway.com
Do you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own for you have been bought with a price, therefore, glorify God in your body. Someday we won't have to worry about what we eat or whether we exercise. But today, we'd better maintain and repair this Temple God lives in and works through. For peak wellness, give us the three R's: Regular Exercise, Right Eating, and Rest. "Temple Maintenance" Dr. David Jeremiah, TURNING POINT

Al is in Remission


We just heard the word 'REMISSION' for the first time this past week. We are all so grateful. His 13 spots are presently inactive. His next tests are not until January.What a wonderful break. Even as I write this I'm afraid that it's only temporary but I'm also Thanking God for the Reprieve.
After Lynn died in July, for the first time in this whole nightmare I lost hope. I felt like a fool for hanging on to the belief that Al would beat this cancer. Lynn and Al's cancer walk was pretty much together.Losing Lynn was also looking at reality. As I sat In my rocker totally overwhelmed and defeated I asked Gary if he would pray with me. His response was-"what's the point?', exactly my own feelings but, 'It's all I know to do" was my reply. As we prayed( and it was an honest, broken-hearted, broken- spirit prayer) a line from a song came to my mind-" Don't Give Up On The Brink Of A Miracle". I got up with my hope restored and a sense of peace about it again. Often when I fear I quote that Line again. Thank God for a personal walk that is alive.
