Exercise

I visited a couple congregations recently and one a while back that take 'stewardship of the body' seriously. Trinity Lutheran in Spring (Klein), TX and Salem Lutheran in Tomball, TX both have an exercise room for member's use so they can get/stay healthy. Salem Lutheran is doing creative things to add to that exercise ministry as well.

And Christ Memorial in St Louis, MO is involved with Wheat Ridge in a project called R.E.H.A.B - Rehab, Energy, Health and Blessing. It is a ministry that is changing lives in the name of Jesus.

"...heart, soul, mind and strength..." It all comes from God and he wants it all back - in good shape for service. We are the tools in his tool box to bring the message of Jesus to the world. He changes our hearts through forgiveness. He's given us an incredible body that can do amazing things - when we care for it well. It is not rocket science - but it does need to be intentional. How are you doing caring for your body? Small steps are great - and so are the benefits!
