Does God expect us to take care of our body?

That's about like saying, “Does God expect me to take care of my garden? Why doesn't He kill those weeds and insects that have taken over?

In taking care of your garden, can you listen to the “experts” that make millions $$$$$ in selling you poisons? If you do, you will ruin the nutrition of you food, as well as ruin your ground.

In going to the Dr, you have to use your common sense. I've told plenty of Drs, that I didn't want the medicine that they prescribed. They usually insisted and gave me the prescription. Which I sometimes tore up, and find out later that they had taken it off the market, because it caused strokes, or cancer or horrible side effects.

I have found that people that love TRUTH, want Truth in every department of their lives.

The NT refers to our fleshly bodies as His temple, and I do believe that taking care of our bodies, is part of God's plan for us, as well as tending to our spiritual relationship with the Lord.

Sis. Renee, I totally agree with your statement:

I have found that people that love TRUTH, want Truth in every department of their lives.

This is also very true. Part of the problem is that there is no one home to care for the things of the household, which require more effort than can be given when both husband and wife are working full time.

I have worked full time in the past, and found it very difficult to keep up with all that a household needs. For the last few years, I have been blessed to be at home, and to be here for my husband and children. That has given me the opportunity to grow a garden, prepare more nutritious and healthy food for my family, and spend more time with my family, praying with my children, teaching them, and guiding them. And my level of stress is decreased when I can be here at home guiding the household, instead of dealing with stress at work, and trying to manage the household as well.

Staying at home may not be an option for every woman, but it really is a woman's highest calling to minister to her family first and foremost.
