PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION

Lord Jesus, remind us that your kingdom is a kingdom of hope and light, in which there is no darkness, fear, or sadness. Help us to be present to hear your word, so we may become the kind of disciples that welcome everyone with offers of mercy and peace. AMEN.
 

Psalm 126

126:1 When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.
126:2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then it was said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."
126:3 The LORD has done great things for us, and we rejoiced.
126:4 Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like the watercourses in the Negeb.
126:5 May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy.
126:6 Those who go out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, carrying their sheaves.

ABUNDANT HEALTH

Food Makeover
You should know that your body is a temple for the Holy Spirit who is in you. You have received the Holy Spirit from God. So you do not belong to yourselves. 1 Corinthians 6:19 (NCV)
 
Most Americans spend more time watching cooking on television than actually cooking. We think that it is difficult and time consuming, but that’s a myth. Cooking simple, healthy meals is easy to learn and will transform your health. In fact, health starts in the kitchen. What’s in yours?
It is time to take an honest look behind the cupboard doors. Dump the processed foods, white menaces (white flour and sugar), and anything with unhealthy additives. Then add all the good stuff: healthy fats, nuts, veggies, fruits, whole grains, beans, peas, seeds, spices, herbs, etc. When you stock what’s good for you, you set yourself up for healthy eating and cooking habits.
