So it’s summer….again.
It happens every year about the same time.
The picture is of my bathing suit.
Basic black, Speedo brand.
Some years days it fits better than others.
It just depends on how early in the year
I look at the calendar and see
that summer is approaching….again.
That I decide I better get busy with
healthier eating and exercise
to look good in said suit.
I want to say I don’t care what others
think about how I look in that suit.
But I do…..a little.
My hubby doesn’t mind that I am a little
extra fluffy when he hugs me.
Honestly, his opinion is the only one that matters.
But, I do care about my health.
A few extra yo-yo pounds
might be ok.
But what are you putting INTO your body?
I don’t even worry so much about calorie count
as I do content.
Fruits and veggies.
Lean meats and fish.
1 Corinthians 3:16 ESV
Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?
Leave the cookies and chips at the store.
If you don’t even buy them,
they can’t tempt you when you are bored, watching
Jericho on Netflix. Ahem.
Change your mindset.
Think about the example you
are setting for your children.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God?
You are not your own, for you were bought with a price.
So glorify God in your body.
Remember, you didn’t put on those extra 5, 10,
or in my case 20+ pounds overnight.
They won’t come off overnight.
You got this!

Katey!
I just read on my body being a temple and respecting our bodies as a holy temple to be cared for, and maintained! I think we need to always remember this, because if it breaks down, how can we do the Holy Spirit’s work here?? I am thankful every day that I have 2 legs to get me out of bed! This was a wonderful post and thanks for your reminder on it all!
Thank you Maxine…It was a great refresher for me, too!
