Building Healthy Families: “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit… therefore honor God with your body.” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) This Biblical instruction isn’t just for young people! No matter what your age, take time this week to do something that will make your body stronger or healthier. Fix a healthy snack, go for a walk, and invite a friend or neighbor to join you. Shared activity makes it more fun, and creates an open door for conversation about wellbeing, including the importance of faith and spiritual wellness. Thank God for and honor Him by taking care of your body, no matter how many years it’s been around! www.LutheranFamilyService.org Lutheran Family Service
