...not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly...Romans 12:3 (portion).
We as women often assume the roles of caregivers, selfless, loving, kind (some men too). But what we sometimes neglect is the notion of 'self-care'. We were good loving, caring mothers who insured our children had everything they needed in terms of diet, exercise, sleep. Many of us doing the same for our husbands and even more still extending themselves to others, as an expression of our love. However, we also sometimes neglect a very important person in the midst of all that selflessess....ourselves.
It is as important, if not moreso, to think AS HIGHLY of ourselves as we should - as children of God as it is NOT to think more highly of ourselves than we ought. We should acknowledge that we are worth the time, money and effort it takes to make sure we are healthy, happy, whole and rested.
Take time today to give to yourself.

Prayer: Lord, cover each one of my sisters and brothers and bless them with your goodness. Help us all to reach our goals. Remind us to look to you for emotional support and not to food. Help us to consider each day, each meal, the impact of what we choose to put into our bodies. Remind us to take time out to clear our minds, connect with you and rest and exercise our bodies.
In Jesus name we pray and ask it all. Amen!
