Son-shine on Your Shoulders

Happy Son-Day,  Winter's Last Harrah! A place where you will always find good news. Westside Ear Candy No Sugar Please I am continuing the storyline on loving yourself.  Previously, I touched briefly on taking time and rewarding yourself.   Today, I tackle the physical part of taking care of yourself.  And yes, the Bible goes there. First, a public service message from your Creator and Curator Psalm 139:14 "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."  Self-care Please 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies." 3 John 2 "Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well." 1 Timothy 4:8 -  For while bodily training is of some value, godl...

Happy Son-Day and Happy Mothers' Day First Bass Your Mother Surpasses Them All! Isaiah 66:13  As a mother comforts her child, I will comfort you.   I must confess my sin.  I am jealous of the love, adoration, care, and attention mothers get on their day.  Not because they're undeserving and lavished with gifts and pampering all day.  It's because Father's Day is not the same.

A mother's comfort is welcomed warmth that soothes to the bone.  All the pain and stiffness from the cold harsh reality melts...

Happy Son-Day!   Feliz Cinco De Mayo A Host of Fun Is It Football Season Yet - Loving Yourself  with a Little Self-Indulgence  The base scripture:  love your neighbor as you  love yourself  (Matthew 22:39) .   This series of messages is about loving the many facets of yourself so that you can love others better than yourself. Philippians 2:3-4 3: Don't be jealous or proud; be humble and consider others more important than yourselves. 4 Care about them as much as you care about yourselves . Caring about yourself is permissible.  This can get lost when in our love for others.  We can love so hard that our tank storing your selfless ability runs low.  To resupply it, sometimes you need to do for yourself.  Indulge yourself. Doing for yourself does not need to be expensive.  It means reading a good book, watching a movie, listening to tunes, napping, gaming, traveling, hiking, and working on your hobbies.  ...
