"...my body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is from God. I am not my own, for I was bought with a price, so glorify God in my body."
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
I am still working on what I would say if someone at the park asked me what this means.
It begins with two of my life verses:
"So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."
1 Corinthians 10:31
and
"And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:17
Am I making much of God in every aspect of my life?
Do I make much of God as a

- in my church and community
How do I make much of God today?
- Seeing the many interruptions of my planned out day as opportunities to practice patience and humility.
- Praising God for many inches of rain so I will have water to drink and food on my plate.
- Taking the time out of my busy schedule to listen to a friend without trying to put my "two cents worth" into the conversation.
- Not having the last word with my husband, again practicing gentleness, kindness, patience with my family when they rub me the wrong way.
- Not gossiping with my neighbor about my husband or children.
- Loving my neighbor as much as I love myself(my closest neighbor being my spouse or kids)

That is a wonderful perspective, Jody! The t-shirt reminds me of the saying written on my living room wall in decals. “Live life to the fullest and make a difference along the way.” Making the difference is done through the outpouring of Christ in my life to others.
Good thoughts today!
