Spiritual Aerobics

Before beginning my chemo treatments in June, I was very active physically. I loved to get up early each morning and do aerobic/cardio workouts at the local fitness center. I would also walk at least two miles daily, and play golf whenever possible. Because chemo zaps my strength and causes severe fatigue, I have not been able to stay physically active, and have noticed that my muscle tone is deteriorating. So on my "good" days, I try to take a walk in an attempt to keep my leg muscles in shape. As I was walking with Vicky last night, she observed that I seemed very happy to be walking and sweating. Indeed I was thrilled to have some exercise.

I am reminded that since we are "spiritual" beings as well as "physical" beings, that we should be exercising our souls daily. When we neglect to pray and read God's Word, we are in danger of spiritual deterioration! It is smart to keep our physical bodies in good shape, but don't forget your daily "Spiritual Aerobics"!! Take a few minutes right now, before logging off, and talk to the Lord. Open your Bible and let Him speak to you this morning! He has something to say!! Wouldn't you like to hear it??

I am headed for my chemo treatment shortly. Please pray for me. I have the assurance that God will go with me! I love you!
