Meditation For The Week

On taking care of our bodies

Sweet friends,

Last week, I came down with 몸살 (fatigue) and was out of commission for several days and therefore, was not able to write some posts I had in the queue. I’m back to around 85% today and my health status is the inspiration for today’s meditation - to take care of our bodies because God cares about our bodies.

Praying you all avoid any sickness and stay healthy.

With love,

Brother Young

Breathe In
God cares, not only for my soul

Breathe Out
But also my body, as well

---

Heavenly Father,

Maker of my soul.
Maker of my body.
Maker of my being.
Thank you for this body of mine,
that reflects your image.
May I grow in your knowledge and wisdom,
to care for it tenderly and gently.
Because this world is harsh on the body.
And you are not.

Amen.

Then he lay down and slept under the broom tree.

Suddenly, an angel touched him. The angel told him, “Get up and eat.” Then he looked, and there at his head was a loaf of bread baked over hot stones, and a jug of water. So he ate and drank and lay down again. Then the angel of the Lord returned for a second time and touched him. He said, “Get up and eat, or the journey will be too much for you.” So he got up, ate, and drank. Then on the strength from that food, he walked forty days and forty nights to Horeb, the mountain of God. He entered a cave there and spent the night.
