An At Home Adventure

Introduction

    I am a happy homemaker, and my life is filled with taking care of my husband, our children, our house, our dog, our garden, and countless other things.  Taking good care of my body seemed like something I just never had the time to do. Looking back, I realize that some years have been worse than others. 

   One of the unhealthiest years of my life was probably the year 2000.  I was drinking 4 cans of soda a day and chugging down Slim Fast shakes for lunch.  I was eating chips, popcorn, and chocolate into the wee hours of the night, and my idea of exercise was to jog to the fridge for more food or soda.  I ached all over and had a constant headache, and I loved to wear dresses with no waists so I could hide my ever-increasing shape.  Worst of all, I rarely found time to pray, read my Bible, or do devotions.

   Does that sound like behavior befitting the daughter of a King?  Not really, does it?  The Bible tells us that we are daughters of the King, and our bodies are His temple.  In the year 2000, I was not treating my body like a temple – like a garbage can maybe, but a temple – no!  Maybe you are thinking that I am perfectly healthy now, and that my body looks like a tiny temple similar to supermodel Cindy Crawford’s.  I can assure you that this is not true (I HAVE given birth to children, you know).  However, I will say I am much healthier now, and I am on the road to treating my body more like the temple God intended it to be.  

   How are you doing with treating your body like a temple?  Do you see yourself as the daughter of a King, and is your body a place worthy of His dwelling?  Well, if not, it is high time that you step into that role, and this is a great way to begin.  This “At-Home Adventure” is for women who want to be a little healthier, and if that’s you, let’s get started!
