Daily Renewal

Well, it was bound to happen eventually. It appears that I may have to have my gallbladder removed because it is behaving poorly and causing every other organ to have to make up for its inadequacies. And, it has caused me a little pain and some major discomfort. We await the surgeon's office's notification indicating when the eradication of this poorly performing organ will take place.

I have always "sort of" boasted that I have everything I came with, with the exception of less hair and more wrinkles. But, in the back of my mind, I knew the day would come when it would be time for the removal of some necessary but poor performer. It is just an indication that this body is human and it will wear out and break down, as we all know it will.

Today's word is 2 Corinthians 4:16, NLT, which reads, "This is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day."

While it is a fact that no one gets out of this life alive, it is just as much a fact that when this life is over, I will be more alive than ever - eternally alive. This body was not designed to last forever; it is my spirit that will.

I try to take care of this body that GOD has given me. I should also true to take care of my spirit. Just as I try to exercise and eat right (most of the time), I should also do the things that nurture and grow and protect my spirit. This old body needs daily nurturing, and so does my spirit. We all need daily renewal.

Be Blessed,
