If Your Body is a Temple…

31 Days to a More Abundant Life

BodyisaTemple

I love donuts.

And pizza and fries and chips. Oh—and salsa and guac! And steak…I love steak, too. Me and food go way back.

Now, exercise? I don’t like to exercise. At. All.

It is a struggle for me to find time for any sort of fitness program. I’d rather be hitting my to-do list than the gym. I don’t understand the people who enjoy working out—for me, it is right up there with cleaning out my closet.

But, I want to take good care of the body God has given me. I want to steward the gift of health well.

definition stewardship, steward, manage

I am asking myself this lately: How can I be a good steward and still enjoy the gifts that God has given me? [tweetthis]How can I be a good steward and still enjoy the gifts that God has given me? [/tweetthis] For me, I know that this is central to living a #moreabundantlife.

How would we live
if we lived in the constant awareness
that we are God’s Dwelling Place?

 

Tomorrow, I will share some of the ways I am trying to learn to love being healthy. Today, tell me what is your favorite exercise program? Do you follow a particular diet? Are you happy with your current fitness level or do you want to make a change too?

When the first day of school is also the day your When the first day of school is also the day your firstborn drives herself to college, it’s a lot. We moved her stuff into her dorm last week. Today she got up early to say goodbye to Dad (too early! Not pictured 😂), her brother, her doggo, her piano, and her momma. Before she left, she made blueberry scones to share with her little bro @sjoshlafont —they homeschool and relocated together, went to @westminsteroakmtn together, and have shared a love of music, Legos, superheroes (and villains), Transformers, and so much more. She played my favorite song. She even made banana bread to bring to her new roomie. @graciethenerd You are my little nut brown hare, and I love you to the moon and back. Auburn University is a better place because you are there! ❤️

Also, so grateful for the wonderful school where she spent the last four years—the perfect place to land after years of homeschooling on the move. “For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.” (Ps 100:5) #curatingthegood #graduated🎓 #wisebeyondheryears @graciethenerd @lafonte04 @westminsteroakmtn
