Back on the wagon
July 28th, 2009Good Morning! I must say I had an epiphany today…the light shined so brightly in my eyes I was almost blinded by its brilliance. All these years, I’ve had it SO backward. Ever since I can remember, I only liked my body when it was thin, and I’ve hated it when it’s fat (wonder where I got this thinking…but that’s another subject). I kept telling myself that I wanted to lose weight so I would like my body again. How ignorant I’ve been. My body IS a precious and beautiful gift from the Lord, and I need to be grateful for that gift and show my gratitude by loving and nurturing my gift. This is a gift from GOD, one that He gives us that is with us and serves us our whole life, however long that may be. It really is the Lord’s temple, and I have neglected it and taken it for granted all these years. Man, is my face red…I feel so stupid, stiff-necked…humbled. Well, starting this moment that is going to change. My attitude toward my body has just done a one-eighty, and I feel so completely grateful for this beautiful gift the Lord has bestowed on me. I haven’t felt this good since the day I felt the blinding light of God’s love…Thank you, Lord, for this beautiful gift of my temple.
