Good Morning!! The human body is an
intricate creation, feeding itself from nutrients found in our food
sources. Science has proven that a diet lacking in a necessary vitamin
or mineral can send the body into a state of inefficiency and general
ill health. What type of diet are YOU feeding those you love? Do you
give generously of yourself, offering love, care,...and warmth on a silver
platter? Or do you dish out a diet of fast food scraps?
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.—Galatians 5:13 (KJV)
In the Bible, God speaks of returning to our first love. While this particular verse was relating to our relationship with Jesus Christ so, too, can we learn another valuable lesson in regards to neglecting our loved ones and THEIR need of our love and attention. Just as our physical bodies sometimes aren't running as well as they could, so too does our emotional well being occasionally suffer when we aren't fed a diet of good things. For example, pouring hatred, bitterness, and constant stressful circumstances into one's life, on a steady basis, is known to most definitely affect an individual, making one more susceptible to such physical and emotional ailments as ulcers, high blood pressure, nervous breakdowns, etc.

If we don't nurture and nourish them,...any relationship will begin to deteriorate.
" If our achievements in life
don't enhance our relationships with God, our spouse and children, and others,
the we are not fulfilling God's commandments."
