Health

It's often easy to take our health for granted; but, it doesn't take much to make us realize how important it is.   When there is any part of our health that is not functioning normally, it can really have an effect on us as a whole.

I've been working on trying to stay healthy.  This week, I've been recording all that I've been eating; and so far, I've been exercising 30 minutes a day consistently.  I've dropped down to my hard-to-cross-barrier weight - the one that I get to and seem to get stuck on, since it's hard to get below it.  I'm working towards getting to my good weight or maybe even my ideal weight.   I also need to make doctor appointments for my physical and the periodic checks.

My mom had to go into urgent care a couple of times these last couple of weeks.  She is currently on antibiotics; and I'm praying for a full recovery and that her test results will show that there is nothing serious. 

Also, there are so many people that I know struggling with one health issue or another.  In my class, one person's granddaughter suffers from spinal dystrophy and another is being tested for a brain tumor.

This reminds me of the passages in the Bible on spiritual gifts and how we are to work together as the Body of Christ.   When one part is not functioning, it does hurt the whole.
