“Life Recipe” Blog #194
Do I have courage to hold firmly to truth?
Do I please other people, just to look better?
Do I realize “my praying” permits Jesus to love me?
Every day takes a lot of work. Some days take more work just to get through the morning. I
may be tested the most to just throw in the towel, give up and resign myself to the belief
“what does anything matter anyway”? All because I have NOT started my day with
“spiritual discipline”. I need to have my tools in place that are so needed to take on this
very day. So how do I start mornings?
WAKE UP AND PRAY FOR HELP IN ALL I THINK AND DO. SIMPLY A GREAT START! THEN I GET
SOME KIND OF EXERCISE. IF IT IS NOT POSSIBLE, I CAN DO ISOMETRICS. I CAN FLEX MY
MUSCLES, MOVE MY ARMS AND LEGS FOR I5 TO 20 MINUTES. I DO ALL OF THIS WITH DEEP
BREATHING AND POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS. I EAT HEALTHY FOOD.
What do I mean by positive affirmations? Anytime I use the words “I AM”, I must put a
positive spin to this. “I am healthy, I am loving, I am kind.” Did you know the longest living
“healthiest families in the world” are not that far away? These people live in Italy, Greece,
Japan Costa Rica and the United States of America. The average life span is from nineties
to well into one hundred years old. Why do these people live so long and feel so good?
Look into the BLUE ZONE PEOPLE.
It’s all about lifestyle and the habits I have developed to live my life day to day.
In the year 2012 one family had nine siblings, the eldest was 109 years old. In most of these
countries elderly are treated like Kings and Queens. They stand for goodness and high
moral decisions. The older family members continue to live with their family until DEATH.
They are revered, honored and looked up to! If life is lived to its fullest, we want to care for
our bodies. THEN we pass all this down to our children and their children. We have
“Healthy Recipes for Living Life”. Therein is how the circle is “suppose to go”
However, we live in dark times where the secular has taken over for the spiritual. I’m
going to regress for a moment and speak about the “secular times we live in”. Little
chance for me to “find the light of Jesus Christ” in every day UNLESS I am able to ASK FOR
THE LIGHT OF JESUS TO SURROUND ME NOW”. IF I choose NOT to pray in the morning
before start of day, all kinds of darkness has ways of infiltrating into my being. There is the
television, internet, or a phone call from someone who is angry. So I state now,
unequivocally. NO DOUBT in my mind about times we now live in.
KEEP MYSELF PROTECTED IN JESUS LIGHT, ALWAYS. Forgive each day, all situations.
“A (partial) Poem dedicated to YOU by Mother Theresa”
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered.
Forgive them anyway.
IF you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives,
Be kind anyway.
IF you are honest and frank, people may cheat you,
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight,
Build anyway.
The good you do today, people will forget tomorrow,
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough,
Still - give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
You see - in the final analysis, it’s between You and GOD,
IT never was between you and them anyway.
Can I surround myself in the light of Jesus Christ right now?
