Just a few questions to ask yourself especially if you have a chronic illness like me. I think about all the things my family and I have put in our mouths or when and where we have eaten and it makes me mad at myself. The good thing is I can change and my family can come along for the ride.
God gave me the honor and duty to take care of my husband and family. What I serve them and let them eat is under my jurisdicition. I need to make better choices and not worry about convenience. I need to plan more so if I am not feeling well then they still eat well. Our bodies are a temple and we need to take care of them especially if we have medical issues and even if we don’t.
Do you take this part of your mother’s role seriously? Do you really think about what you are cooking? Do you really think about what you are letting your family put in their bodies?
Join me as I get intentional about food. Is your body a temple?
Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. Genesis 1:29 NIV
Let me know what your are thinking because it sure is…….
Something to think about!
