Reflection

“Your diet is a bank account. Good food choices are good investments.” –Bethenny Frankel

Prayer

Spirit of Wholeness,

Having a body is an incredible gift that we sometimes take for granted, until it’s too late and exhaustion or sickness remind us that, in a very real sense, we are our bodies. Yet our faith tradition also reminds us that our bodies are good and you came to save and redeem them, out of your great love for us and for all of creation. May we treasure our bodies, therefore, as temples of your spirit, and may we express our gratitude in the concrete choices we make about sleep, play, work, and diet. Inspire us to take good care of our bodies, as a sign of our love for you and as an investment in the future you wish to give us. Amen.
