Balancing life

As I said yesterday, we need to receive love and give love but we also have to take care of ourselves because in order to do what we have to do, we have to be healthy and wise. 

One thing that I know helps me is getting the proper rest.  When I don’t rest, I get weak and I can’t do nothing.  Also, study shows that rest makes us healthy and if you don’t get rest it’s a trigger that damages other areas in our lives.

I know life is busy and we have all kinds of things that we’re dealing with but taking time out for yourself is something you must do.  Sometimes we’re so into others that we don’t do for ourselves and it’s very important to just stop and do what we have to do.  The body can get complicated and if we’re not educated in what we need, we will have issues.  We need minerals and vitamins that help us to still stand.  Most of the time we get this in our foods but sometimes we don’t depending on what we eat and drink.  Let’s think about that because it’s very important and can help in many areas.

Our actions really do control it all.  Our intake of anything and outtake of what we put out are key factors in our health on this journey.  For example, if we have bad attitudes, it could cause stress on ourselves and others, if we don’t nurture ourselves with wisdom and understanding, our hearts will be damaged and if we don’t let go and let God, the burdens can be too much for us.

I’m saying all of this because it’s very important that we balance our lives and be responsible in how we treat ourselves and how we treat others.  It’s all about respect, integrity and developing into a person of God to serve.  We all are broken in some area but when we work on those things we become the person that God wants us to become as well as be example to others.

Get rest, clear your mind of things that are putting stress on your heart and do things so you can feel better and be at peace.  That’s my main goal to serve and to become a better example of Jesus through love and all of the other virtues that God teaches us.  It takes time but it only takes one to make a difference and when we do one things at a time and have patience, we make progress.  Amen and Thank You Jesus.
