"Lord, what have I gained
if I eat wisely and well but neglect to dine at your table;
if i work out faithfully
while failing to excercise love;
if i give myself to the pursuit of fitness
yet am not fit for Your Kingdom?
Earthly disciplines fortify
the body for a lifetime.
Heavenly disciplines strenghten
the soul for an eternity."
and reading it has made me really think deeply and review that goal. What will it profit Cee to be physically fit and healthy but have spiritual kwashiorkor??! Heaven forbid! So with my healthy meals and work out plan I must most importantly remember my spiritual wellbeing too.
Yours sincerely,
Cee

It's so easy to be preoccupied with keeping fit health wise and physically and forget the most important of them all which is the spiritual aspect. I'm copying this poem and pasting it in my room as a constant reminder. Thanks for permitting me. :-)
