Often times, we perceive health as an end goal: something to be conquered or achieved. Health is sometimes seen as a victory to be won over the ruthless opponents of time, money, and laziness. It is with this same view of health in which we usually fall short of our goals and give up.
This year I have been challenged to think of health differently.
Health, just like our faith in God, is not and ends in itself, but rather a process or a state of mind that takes constant attention and discipline that is unceasing.
During the Month of March and April, the family programs at Next Generation Church are going to focus on building families that practice health; by taking care of the body through proper diet and exercise, by taking care of the soul by learning to understand emotional health, and by taking care of the spirit through daily prayer and bible reading.
But you don’t have to wait for us!
You can implement steps of healthful living in your family today!
Try this:
Body- start walking with you family after dinner
Soul- face your own unresolved conflict and deal with your emotions
Spirit- pray & do a morning devotion or bible reading (check out the daily devotions on the youth website)
We are better together and in fact some things we just can’t do alone. Healthy living is one of these things. We must practice health as a community and prioritize it in our families each and every day. Let us encourage one another in the practice of health over the next few months and see how God can transform our families just by doing the little things with consistency.
