Love Is Action; A Verb

Why is love an action? Maybe because you can always tell people that you love them, but do your actions show it? Sometimes actions speak louder than words.




***Good News***


Did You Know?




Have you taken the time to spend quality time with anyone?


1. Quality Time

Spending quality time is a great way to show your love for another. You may not have a lot of money, but possibly you have the time. Do you struggle as a working mother wishing you had more time with your little ones? Sometime quality time is just as or more important that all the time in the world.


2. Words Matching the Action

Sometimes you may have to use common sense and ignore your emotions. If someone is telling you they love you and their actions are not matching the words then it is time to take a look and question that.


3. Tough Love

Do you love someone enough to use tough love? Do you enable others? Have you learned to show others how to treat you and let them know how you want to be treated? Tough love is not easy, but sometimes is necessary.


4. Relationships

Relationships can be very powerful. God’s love is more powerful. I recall when I was in a relationship with a young man I asked him if he was saved. His response was, “No, but I want to be saved I want what you have.” As we were walking on the school tracking field I stopped right in the middle of the field and gave him the plan of salvation. I explained all you need to do now is find a church home. He was adamant that he did not want to join my church, but to find his own. I understood. There are numerous churches all over the city.


5. Empathy

Have you ever felt empathy? Have you ever tried viewing something from someone’s else's point of view? The old adage, “Never judge someone until you have walked in their shoes,” may be something to think about and consider. Have you ever said, “I would never do that.,” but then at a later date found yourself doing that? If you have felt empathy then possibly you have felt caring. Showing that you care is another action of love.


6. Give or Take

Acts 20:35.   It is more blessed to give than receive. Are you always attempting to get more than you give? Are you always asking, “What do I get out of this situation?” or “What is in it for me?” Have you ever heard someone say, “I Love You.” Another might reply, “I love you more.” In reality does that person love the other more? Does that person’s actions match their words? There are those that are so use to taking that it might take some practice to start giving more. There are numerous ways to give. Money is valuable, but it is not the only way to give to others.


7. Volunteering

When you volunteer that is a great way to give to others. I recall someone saying the greatest way to stop thinking about your problems was to help others with their problems. There are numerous volunteer opportunities available.

I recently with shopping at a grocery store. It was a pleasant surprise to see a greeter at the door. He had shorter pants on so that you could visibly see both his artificial legs. He was very pleasant and told my husband and myself to have a great day. I thought the greeter does this and even though he is probably getting paid there are others that would not consider doing this. This greeter had a great attitude and one thing about attitude is that a good attitude is contagious.


8. Children and Parents

How many children are growing up feeling they are entitled? How many are feeling that their parents owe them something? How many children actually become adults and attempt to help their aging parents? I recall one of my grandchildren took all of his grandmother’s to dinner for Mother’s Day. This included step-grandmother’s as well. This is an awesome way to show love. All of my children and grandchildren are great. I recall one grandchild would visit the other grandmother whom had had a stroke. My granddaughter would cook her enough food for a week. Again, a great way to show love for another.


How many children have thanked their parent’s or even maybe taken their parent’s to dinner? A great way to show love.


9. Matthew 22:39. Thou Shalt Love Thy Neighbor as thyself. Do you really love your neighbor? I recall my husband and I were at breakfast. When my husband attempted to pay the bill. The waitress informed us someone had taken care of it and wanted to be anonymous. Now that was love. We were very grateful, because neither of us expected it either.


10. Random Acts of Kindness

Did you know that the National Random Acts of Kindness Day started in 1995? Usatoday.com talks about this. The great thing about this is that it was catchy. Nearly everyone was promoting Random Acts of Kindness. This is an awesome action of love. It does not take a lot of money to do this either. Some Random Acts of Kindness might include the following:


1. Visit a Senior Citizens Home


2. Call a friend to see how they are


b. Walk your friend’s dog.


I recall when I visited my children in the south. I went walking with them as they walked their dogs. My daughter had one stop to make at her neighbors. She always walked her neighbors dog as well. As we approached the house the dog was jumping and barking inside. When he came out and saw my daughter he was whimpering like a baby with happiness. This dog was so glad to see my daughter. Sadly after starting to return to my daughter’s house, a block from my daughter’s house the dog would just stop. She had to literally pull him. She said the dog did not want to go back to his home. We finally got him moving. This dog truly loved my daughter. What ways can you share to show love?

The Power of Listening

Did you know there are times that you learn more by listening than talking?

There are numerous benefits to listening. Listening is something that people need to practice.

 

                                                Benefits of Listening



Did You Know?





1. Out of the Mouth

Matthew 15:18. But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart, and they defile the man. There is an art of listening, if you listen carefully when another is talking you will hear what is in that person’s heart.


2. Communication

Did you know that communication is not a one-way street? How is your communication skills? N2growth.com emphasizes that the first rule in communication is to seek understanding before seeking to be understood. Have there been times that you have been seeking to be understood to the point that you fail to seek understanding, because you are trying so hard to get your point across?


3. Listen to Music

Do you listen to music? I discovered that I like to listen to classical and country music as well as gospel and jazz. Research has shown that listening to music can reduce anxiety, blood pressure, and pain as well as improve sleep quality, mood, mental alertness and memory. Hopkinsmedicine.org., talks about this. They further add that music is structural, mathematical and architectural and that the brain has to do a lot of computing to make sense of it.

I recall playing smooth jazz for my grandchildren when they were babies. They seemed to just love it.

Have you listened and observed that several of the retail stores are playing music while you shop? Have you observed that several posts or ads are playing music.


4. Why Listen?

Do you know the benefits of listening? Listening skills can help improve relationships in the workplace, reduce misunderstandings, build empathy, limit judgments, increase productivity, enhance leadership skills, and provide feedback. This is according to oneeducation.org., Have you had misunderstandings because you or another were not listening to each other? Have you thought a certain way about another, but after listening to them you discovered you were too judgmental? Have you thought about why a judge is called a judge. That judge needs to actively listen to both sides of an argument.

When I served Jury Duty, I discovered I needed to actively listen to both sides of the argument. I recalled requesting help from another. Something that he told me will always remain with me. He said, “I need you to tell me the facts.” I discovered when actively listening to another you will learn a lot about that person.


5. Your Listening Ear

Someone once told me that it is not enough for me to memorize scriptures, but I need to speak the scripture aloud so that my ears can hear it and process it. I had never thought of it that way. I also have observed with AI (Artificial Intelligence) and the television there is so much encouragement to speak into the remote to find the program that you want to see. A problem I have with that is if you do not enunciate just right AI is totally lost and will produce something totally different than you asked for.


6. Listening and Your Life

Are you aware that careful listening can change your life? With effective listening you can understand others; enhance relationships; persuade or sell effectively. Juliantreasure.com further adds that listening is the access to your desired outcomes, it is the key for your well-being, and it is a skill that you can practice.


5. How You Can Actively Listen

Do you know how to actively listen? Have you attempted active listening and found it difficult? Several tips for active listening are as follows:


a. Face the speaker and have eye contract


b. Listen to non-verbal cues too


c. Don’t Interrupt


d. Listen without judging, or jumping to conclusions


e. Don’t start planning what to say next


f. Show that you’re listening


g. Do not impose your opinions or solutions


h. Stay focused


I. Ask questions


J. Paraphrase and summarize


K. Remember practice makes perfect


This is emphasized at bhf.org.uk. I have been guilty of planning what I would say next. What about you? Have you ever done that? I have been guilty of sometimes imposing my opinions or solutions when the other person may have just wanted someone to listen to them.


6. Listening to Audio Books

Do you listen to Audio Books? I love listening to Audiobooks, but I have discovered I need to be careful what I listen to. I discovered some novels can be depressing. I also remembered something someone once said. When you read a book you are reading a book that is the author’s spirit. So not only is the type of book you read that is important, but the author is just as important. That is the source of the book. Did you know that audio books have the same benefits of reading, audiobooks help relax our eyes, audiobooks improve time management, audiobooks help build literacy skills, and they immerse you in another world according to blog.libro.fm.


7. Free Online Audiobooks

Did you know that you can get free online audiobooks from Audible from Amazon, Digital Book, Spotify, Overdrive, Open Culture, Storynory, LibriVox, LearnOutLoud, Hoopla Digital, Project Gutenberg, Lit2Go, Internet Archive, ThioughtAudio,YouTube, and Free Classic Audiobooks according to rd.com.


8. Listening Activities for Kids

Are you aware that there are listening activities for Kids? Listening activities might include getting their full attention, make reading an interactive activity, play listening games, play story chain, place an emphasis on common speech signals, Help your child to build their vocabulary, be a good listener too, and remember that most young children have short attention spans. Readingeggs.com talks about this.

I have often heard teachers telling their students to “Put on your listening ears.” I believe the is so crucial for adults as well as children.  How often do you put on your listening ears?

How to Stay Focused

Do you have trouble staying focused? Do you start working on something and then become easily distracted? Maybe you need help to stay focused.




 Did you Know this?




 ***Good News***


What are some of the things that you can do to stay focused?


1. Living in the Present


Ways to Improve your memory and to stay focused:

Your body may be present but are you constantly thinking about the past? Are you the one that sits at the dinner table and you are constantly texting to another? Besides the fact that this is rude you need to realize the present in order to focus on that.


2. Distractions

Did you know that office workers are interrupted every 11 minutes and it takes 25 minutes on average to get back to the task they were working on before the interruption. Medicalnewstoday.com talks about this. They further add that glancing at greenery can also markedly boost concentration levels and productivity in college and the workplace. I have observed green plants in several offices as well.

Constant distractions can interrupt your focus. When you are at a function or spending time with family and friends unless it is an emergency is it really necessary to answer your cellphone? Why have voicemail if you are not going to use it? Cellphones are great, but they can also be a distraction if you are not careful.


3. Multitasking Reduced

There may be those that can multitask very well. There may be those that will multitask 5 or 6 things at a time, but sometimes multitasking will not allow you the time to focus and give the attention that is needed in any given moment.


4. A To-Do List

Just like the wife that makes a honey “to-do list for her husband you also can make a to-do list to help you stay focused. This is so crucial because if you start your day with no set goal or direction you might end up all over the place and just “spinning your wheels” going no where. Also make sure that you look at your “To-do list.” I have found myself making the list and then forgetting all about the list and doing several total different things other than what I have listed.


5. Work Toward Improving Your Memory


The following are a few tips to improving your memory:

You can improve your memory by being physically active every day, staying mentally active with word-finds or crossword puzzles, spend time with others, stay organized, sleep well, eat a healthy diet, manage chronic health problems, and if your worried about memory loss do not fail to make an appointment with your health provider. This is talked about at mayoclinic.org., This also can apply to a friend or relative that you may observe having some memory loss.

I recall in the past dealing with a client that seemingly was forgetting. I new this client was always sharp and on point previously. I was so glad when a relative came in with my client. The relative was aware and just stepped right in to help. If you have a friend or relative that you observe becoming forgetful do not hesitate to get family involved if they can be of help.


6. Focus in Class

Do you have trouble focusing in class? Try preparing before class, get a minimum of 8 hours sleep, east a snack before class, get moving, sit near the front, turn your cellphone off, participate, take notes, review, rewrite, summarize, and reward yourself. Bowdoin.edu suggests this. I recall in college there were times I would party until late and then the next day in class I regretted it, because I could not even begin to focus. My only focus was to go to sleep as soon as classes were over.


7. Manage Your Energy

Are you a morning person or a night person? Some people are up early before the break of dawn and do well while others love to sleep late and do their best work later in the day. This is so important. I recall my husband working second shift and I worked first shift. He attempted to switch to first shift in order to be able to help me in the evening with our children. It did not work. He seemingly could not get out of bed in time in the morning. So I suggested he just go back to working second shift and that I would manage. That did work because one of my babies was just like him. He would come home from work and I would not have to get up through the night with her because he said she would be just laying in her baby bed quietly looking around. He would get her and spend time talking to her before going to bed. So it is important to know if you are a morning or evening person. This may help your concentration a lot.


8. Listen

How are your listening skills? Learn to focus on listening to the other person. Yes it may take time and practice. Do not be so anxious when talking with someone else to jump in and tell your story, but rather listen to their story. Learn about the the other person. 

I recall in college my instructor asked each student to pair up with another and talk with them for several minutes. At the end of the talk each student was to share what they learned about the other student. In order to do that it took focus and active listening.

When you meet someone new, you can practice actively listening to them and you might be surprised at how much you will learn by doing this. This exercise will definitely help you learn to focus. Think how many times when people are unable to settle their differences. Could it be because they do not take the time to listen to each other? Have you noticed on Social Media that there are those that are always talking, but never taking the time to listen to what others are saying? You can start today practicing your listening skill. Remember to focus and listen.

Why Believe In God?

 Why believe in God is a good question, because there are those that clearly do not believe in God, but believe in themselves or science. Sometimes there is no explanation as to why things happen. Sometimes even doctors admit that they have done all they can do.




*** Good News***


Why Not Believe In God?  God is Great.


1. Pray In School

Do you remember when prayer was taken out of the schools? According to mtsu.edu prayer was taken out of schools in 1962 because it violated the establishment clause of the First Amendment, yet if you look at our paper money and our coins it states clearly, “In God We Trust.” Although everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, the fact is there are those that do not believe in prayer.

I recall a principle at one of the high schools confided in me that even though prayer was taken out of the schools she would get up early in the morning before school started and walked the halls praying. This was her individual prayer. Even though it was taken out of the schools she still was committed to praying.

I recall another incident regarding a school field trip involving myself and my grandson. We were outside at a table about to eat. I realized prayer was not allowed in the schools. So I asked my grandson to bow his head and I prayed allowed quietly. To my surprise after finishing praying everyone at the table had stopped what they were doing and said, “Amen.” I had no idea they were listening. I guess that old saying that you never know who is watching you is true. I never knew.


2. Faith

Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. Faith gives you something to hope for. How many times have you seen people just give up on life or even just give up on others? When the doctors have said they have done all they can do, you can be reassured that God is supernatural and can do what no man can do. How many times have you heard people say it is a miracle, we don’t know the how or what but it is? Have you seen babies that they call miracle babies? Babies that defy all odds, that were given only so many days or so many years to live, yet they lived much longer than the time that doctors predicted? I personally know of a miracle baby that lived many years and beat all odds.  

I have twin grandchildren. The one twin weighed 5 pounds when born, yet the other twin was 2 ½ pounds. Today they are both healthy and the 2 ½ pound twin is tall and solid.

   

3. Jealous God

Exodus 34:14. For you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. Before starting a project or before doing anything major do you pray to God or is the praying done in reverse order. Do you pray after starting when things are not going as well. You are not alone. I must admit I have done this also in the wrong order. God made us in his own image. Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him: male and female he created them. He wants to hear from you when things are going well not just when things are going bad. Just like those that are mothers and fathers. We love our children, but we also love hearing from them when things are going well not just when there is a problem.


4. Hope

Believing in God gives us hope for tomorrow. I believe that God is Great. Have you seen patients in the hospital on their death beds holding on until that 1 child could come and see them 1 last time before death. You wonder how do they hold on. They have hope. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, “declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.


5. Atoms

According to blogs.und.edu you can’t see atoms with the naked eyes, but we know they exist. Someone once said God has no phone, but they talk to him, God has no Facebook but he is still their friend, and God has no Twitter but they still follow him. When you believe in God you will talk to Him and follow Him.


6. Believing

For those that do not believe in God their may come a time in your life when you are in a situation that is dependent on God and only he can help you. As a young child there was a time in my life I was in a household of drinkers and fighters. I was constantly in prayer, because I did not want anyone to be killed. Thank God no one was ever killed, but living in the fear of that constantly caused me to be dependent on God more than ever. It also caused me to always remember how far he has brought me.


7. Curious

At a very young age I observed my neighbors always going to church. My father nor my grandmother went to church. So I wanted to know what was church all about. After only going one time, I knew that I loved church. I would really pray during the service. I already believed in God because we only had 1 book in our house that was the Bible. So I started reading it early. I did, however, find out later that there were different religions. I had no idea my first church was Methodist until many years later when I attended a baptist church. Also, my sister attended a sanctified church. I was amazed at how many different churches existed, but there was one common theme that was God. I never stopped believing. Again there are those that believe in God and others that may not believe until an incident or something drastic happens in their life, but these are reasons to believe.


8. Emptiness

Have you ever felt that you have done all you can do, but still felt empty? Have you been with a crowd of people, but still felt lonely? That type of emptiness is something that only God can fill. Have you been in a storm of problems or circumstances and felt there was not way out, but after reading God’s word discovering that God can give you a peace that the world cannot give. The Joy of the Lord is reassuring.   Even in the midst of the storm you can still feel peace within. That is God. Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

10 Important Tips for Better Sleep

How well do you sleep? Are you getting enough sleep? Are you getting too much sleep? Have you thought about your sleep needs?


 

Just to See You Smile. . .





***Good News***


Sleep is very beneficial to the body. Even though you are awesomely made, there are various things your body needs and one of those things is sleep. Everyone’s sleep needs may vary because you are all individuals.



1. Rewiring

Did you know that according to science.org., there is  evidence that suggests that the tracks of memory are laid down during sleep, as the somnolent brain replays, analyzes, and stores the lessons of the day? They further add that this requires “synaptic plasticity,” a situation in which some neural pathways presumably send strong signals and loss of connections.


2. Sleep Ritual

You do not need Technology to start a sleeping ritual. Have you heard of sleep rituals? When you were a child did your mother tuck you into bed and read you a bedtime story? As an adult bedtime rituals can help signal the body and mind that it’s coming to be time for sleep. This is talked about at health.harvard.edu. They further add that if you are hungry before bedtime eat a small healthy snack such as an apple with a slice of cheese and avoid a big meal.

I recall listening to a radio show. The caller called in concerned that her husband would keep food by the bedside and also had a small refrigerator with food in the bathroom. I thought to myself that must be a big bathroom. I could not imagine keeping food in the bathroom where I use the toilet and shower daily. This picture was quite strange to me.


3. Quiet and Dark Bedroom

You do not need special Technology to do the following. Is your bedroom quiet and dark? It  should also be relaxing and at a comfortable temperature. CDC.gov/sleep talks about this.

I observed at one of my husband and I hotel stay the room was large and comfy, but at night the room was pitch black. That is okay possibly in my house because I know my way around in the dark, but I did not know my way around this hotel bedroom. I needed to know where I was going if getting up in the middle of the night to visit the restroom. So in this case there was a night light in the bathroom which we left on.


4. Best Sleeping Position

What is the best sleeping position? The sleepfoundation.org., suggests that sleeping specifically on the side or back is considered more beneficial than sleeping positions and that either of these positions make it easier to keep your spine supported and balanced which relieves pressure on the spine and enables your muscles to relax and recover.


5. Technology for Sleeping

According to usatoday.com study shows that five good sleep hygiene habits can add years to your life expectancy. They further add that the Halo Rise is a bedside sleep tracker and smart alarm that works quietly from your nightstand using radar technology to study your movement and breathing patterns to asses your sleep. This sounds wonderful.


6. Snoring

Have you told your partner to stop snoring during the night? Does your partner’s snoring keep you from sleeping? I recall mentioning snoring to my husband. He then told me that I snored. I told him I did not. Guess what? He recorded me snoring. I thought to myself,” I snore loud too.” I recall hearing my dog snore. Have you ever heard a toddler snore? I recall during a church service at the time there was quiet in the sanctuary then suddenly you could hear this small toddler snoring very loud. Everyone thought it was funny at the time. Home remedies to stop snoring are as follows: sleep on your side, not your back, raise the head of your bed a few inches, use nasal strips that stick to the bridge of your nose to widen your nostrils, and stick to a sleep schedule. This is according to wedmd.com.


7. Blue Light

Were you aware that blue light affects your sleep? Blue light messes with your body’s ability to prepare for sleep because it blocks a hormone called melatonin that makes you sleepy. They further add that blue light sources are televisions, smartphones, tablets gaming systems, fluorescent light bulbs, LED bulbs, and computer monitors. In order to decrease your exposure to artificial blue light you can turn off your smartphone, television, and other gadgets well before bedtime. I have personally found this to be true. When I was working I discovered it was not enough to just turn the television or my computer off just before bedtime and fall asleep. I discovered I would need at least 2 hours to just lay in bed and relax or read a book. So I can attest to this method first hand.


8. Your Pillow Your Sleep

A pillow provides support to the sleeper’s neck and upper back when they are resting and they provide a better level of comfort than can be had without a pillow. Clearwaterchiropractic.net talks about this.


9. Do You Need a New Pillow?

Do you realize when you need a new pillow? You may need a new pillow if your present pillow smells bad, your pillow has noticeable lumps, your getting Acne, it is flat enough to fold, your frequently wake up sneezing, you have neck and shoulder pain in the A.M., it is seriously stained, you’ve switched sleeping positions, you constantly re-fluff your pillow, or you often wake up Tired. Do you have any of these symptoms?

I discovered that I needed a new pillow when I observed myself having neck and shoulder pain. After getting a new pillow I could tell the difference immediately.  The pain went away.


10. The First Pillows

The first pillows dated back to the civilizations of Mesopotamia around 7,000 B.C. During this time, only the wealthy used pillows. According to en.wikipedia.org., Today it is common to have pillows with our beds and even on our couches. Retailers have taken advantage of the need for pillows. Who doesn’t want to sleep on a nice fluffy pillow. What are some of your sleep tips?

Mind, Body, and Spirit

Do you ever think about how the mind, body, and spirit are connected to each other? Just like you need others; the mind, body and spirit need each other.

Have you ever thought about when you feel happy, sad, or other emotions, how they are connected to your body and your spirit? Have you ever heard anyone say be careful what you allow into your spirit? Did you know that what you watch on television or hear on the radio/internet can affect your spirit? I have often said that I love watching comedy because it makes me laugh. Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broke spirit dries the bones. Have you ever felt bad, but a friend cheered you up with laughter. My older sister is so funny. She always makes me laugh.

According to soulviasole.com the body has three distinct networks that connect to each other; the head, the gut, and the heart, often called the three brains. They further give examples of the emotion of stress being processed through the body’s adrenal system, anxiety making someone’s hair stand up on end, and they stress that everything is connected. Guard your heart. Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Someone has said,  "There are times you may say you did not mean to say that, but in reality you did, because you were stating your true feelings." That is why words are so important. The power of the tongue can uplift you or it can kill you. Proverbs 18:21. Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

2. God’s Design

You are a great design by God. Psalm139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works;

Our body comprises our organs, cells, nervous system and brain. Faithandhealthconnection.org., further adds that our mind, will, and emotions are connected to the body through our endocrine, nervous, and immune systems.


3. Balance

How do you balance, mind, body and spirit? Are there times that you may do too much or too little in either area? Remember too much of anything is not good.   Several body wellness strategies might include breathing techniques, drinking water, eating, moving, resting, and getting organized. These are mentioned at discoverwisconsin.com. I have stressed in previous articles deep-breathing on a daily basis is so beneficial because it calms and relaxes the body so that throughout the hustle and bustle of the day you are not kept in a “fight or flight” emotion. I also have previously mentioned in my article


Exercise Without Going to the Gym

 

that I was so happy when Michelle Obama introduced in the schools: Lets Move.” The students benefited from this. Exercise is free. The body was made to move not to sit and be stagnant. It amazes me when I see seniors dancing, skating, and running marathons. That lets me know you are never too old to keep moving. I discovered that I love to walk. After walking I just really feel energized with all this energy. I purposely park farther away in the parking lot for walking purposes.


4. Physical Body

1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. Those that are believers believe that even though the physical body may die the spirit lives on. Have you really listened to the minister at a funeral say, “This person has passed on from life to life.” A person’s belief does affect their body. Unfortunately our physical bodies were not made to live forever. Just like cars and other products are not made to last forever. You may be constantly attempting to take care of your body, mind, and spirit the best that you can. Science is discovering on a daily basis new things to help you improve. Science is also discovering things that the Bible has always said. For example science emphasizes the importance of keeping a positive mind and they have proven what you say does become a reality. The Bible has always stated that same thing. For example Romans 4:17 (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did.

That is why I find memorizing scripture so important. Just as science has stated you can make a list of positive phrases or words. I can quote memorized scripture that is just as uplifting for me such as: Philippians 4:19 And my god will supply all my needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. When scripture is memorized it will come naturally and there is no need to search the scripture for it at that time.


All of this is important to the physical body because there may be times when you feel sad, angry, or other emotions. Words can uplift you and definitely change that feeling of sadness or possibly other negative emotions that you might be feeling. I recall someone saying, “When a negative thought comes into your mind replace it with a positive thought. This is sort of like looking at a half-filled glass. Some will look at it as half empty while others will look at it as half full. Will you look at the glass from a negative view or a positive view?  When a problem arises will you look at it negatively and complain or will you look at it positively and attempt to find a solution?


Always remember mind, body, and spirit work together.
