“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)
“To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.” 1 Corinthians 9:22-23 (NIV)
The best way to keep your mitts off those chips is to have your fridge and pantry well-stocked with prepped and ready healthy options. These good-for-you staples are great to have on hand for a quick snack or better breakfast. Be sure to add them to your grocery list!
Fast food is quick, convenient and delicious, and you may be “lovin’ it,” but your body definitely isn’t. Believe it or not, some salads on the menu can be less healthy than a fully loaded burger and fries. Why should you choose healthier alternatives instead?
Chicken salad, meet your makeover! All the “yums” of this classic dish get a health-conscious twist. Layer it on a bed of greens or pop some in a pita pocket—delish!
“One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.” Psalm 27:4 (NIV)
“Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools.” Ecclesiastes 7:9 (NIV)
You can’t imagine breaking up with coffee or black tea or fountain sodas. Your drink of choice is the perfect midday pick-me-up when you’re slogging along with that report due by 5 PM, running carpool or just trying not to fall asleep before the evening news. Caffeine’s purpose is to stimulate the central nervous system: It increases alertness while keeping you awake. We know you love it, yet dependency on this psychoactive ingredient really isn’t good for your health.
Caffeine may give you a boost but that energy won’t last. Enjoying a cup of morning coffee should be fine, but it’s recommended you be cautious throughout the day and consume caffeine in moderation.
