James 1:16-18 says, "Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. 17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. 18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.."
Every good and perfect gift comes from above. Lately we have talked about how God supplies and how heaven is the storehouse of God's bounty. His good and perfect gifts for our lives come from above. The don't come from us toiling away trying to figure things out or forcing things to happen, they come as a gift from above.
How do we receive these good and perfect gifts? I think we ask, seek, and knock for them, but we must do this in single minded faith that doesn't waver.
Today's communion is a time of gratitude for the good and perfect gifts that God sends from above. And we are asking God for the good and perfect gifts he has for us.
Today's Workout/Health Tip
Taking care of our feet is a big part of health. Here are some ways to take care of our feet. Start every workout by massaging the bottom of the feet with a marble, lacrosse ball, or golf ball. Then do calf raises as one of the first exercises of the day to increase the circulation in the body, because blood tends to get stuck in the feet. Washing our feet before bed is also another great habit. I learned this from a guy who lived to be 113 years old. Before bed he would wash his feet, rub the dead skin off with a pumice stone, and then rub his feet with olive oil. These are all little things but they do make a difference in our health, because if one little part suffers the whole body suffers.
I am praying for you.
