Before I work on my to do list... I had some encouraging daily bread. Today and most of April I've been reading about the resurrection. And today's devo was talking about how we will have new bodies-- from our frail earthly bodies--Lord knows mine is pretty weak to glorious heavenly bodies.. I loved reading this. 1 john 3:2 Our bodies have become these idolized temples in society that are veiwed in extremes-- obese or anorexic...but God meant for our bodies to be used for his good and for his Glory. Now i'm a sad excuse for the discipline of one's body. I'm a sporadic exerciser and well before writing this somewhere half way thru the movie i had 2 spoonfulls of sugar free chocolate icing b/c it was the only thing sweet in mi casa.. so yay definitely not upholding my bargain with God. He created me. Made me in his image.. Knit and formed me in my mom's womb and for the past 26 years i've been doing a hell of a job to wreck his handy work. I'm working on thinking about how I can better serve my God with this body of mind. Also I'm excited no estatic to be able to look forward to the day when this earthly frame of mine can be like my savior Jesus Christ's body.
So rejoice that we will have new bodies one day
