Celebrate the Gift of Your Body
Happy Easter to all! Easter is a wonderful time to celebrate new life! In the busyness of life we tend to forget about the marvels of life around us. Our bodies are one of these marvels. Psalm 139 reminds us that God has knit us together in our mother's womb. What an awesome event! How often we forget what a miracle of life we are. Is it not a daily miracle that your digestive process can turn ordinary food into nourishment, energizing and giving you strength? Think about the miracles of breathing oxygen every minute of every day, your blood racing through the blood vessels with proper distribution to all parts of your body, and your brain being the first telegraph system sending messages to the rest of your body. Truly, the body is full of miracles. You sit. You walk. You run. You talk. You see. You hear. You touch. You smell. You taste. All- miracles! Take a few moments today to thank your loving Creator for designing such a fragile, beautiful work of art as our bodies.
