Chairs
|
I've been reading about chairs lately. I picked up a book off the 50% shelf at Bestseller called "3 Minutes to a Pain-Free Life". It is quite interesting. Dr. Weisberg has developed a daily 3 minute stretching routine which is guaranteed to rid you of pain. I'm still reading before I try his method. One thing I have learned is the cause of most of our pain is the Chair. Its introduction to our life has changed our spinal column, from its natural "s" shape to a "c" shape. This change is the root of all our muscular/skeletal pain. Unfortunately, my body is too messed up to give up my chair. Which is why I am glad I had a chance to sit in a particular set of chairs today. It was the day of our Homeschool Gingerbread making class which was being held at Tamuning Baptist Church. After the kids (with the help of the moms) had put together the Gingerbread Nativity scenes we all headed into the Sanctuary to watch a 15 minute video on King Herod and the Birth of Jesus. As I walked in I recognized the chairs. I turned and asked the pastor where they got their chairs from and it was confirmed. The chairs came from our old church home, had been passed on to a Christian School that I worked at, handed on to another church, and finally made their way to this place. it was like coming home to a familiar friend. As I sat my tired body into a chair and prepared to watch the movie, I felt myself feeling very much at home. The church was cosy and had a good 'feeling" to it. Holy Spirit nudges I suppose. As I shared this with Les later this evening, he reminded me that we had prayed over those chairs. Many times. These were chairs that many students sat in, students whom we had the privilege of praying for and ministering to for the past 6 years. These chairs were old friends. So I'm not quite ready to give up my chairs. They are a comfort to me. But I sure would like to have a pain free body. |
