Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Harran.” Genesis 12:1-4 (NIV)

Affordable Childcare: Why Is It Still So Hard to Find?

When it comes time for your kiddo to head off to daycare, preschool or other early childhood education facilities, affordable opportunities are hard to come by. In many regions of the country, people are spending more money on childcare than they are on housing or food for the entire family. Early childhood care and education sets each child up for development and learning. Moreover, affordable childcare promotes parental employment. If a child has nowhere to go, it can be difficult for a parent to take a day off when they have a job to get to.

A Year of Nothing

3For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops. 4But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of sabbath rest, a sabbath to the Lord. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards. 5Do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the grapes of your untended vines. The land is to have a year of rest.” Leviticus 25:3-5 (NIV)

Step Up Your Rest and Recovery Game

When it comes to prioritizing your rest and recovery, there are multiple factors that can help improve the way you take care of yourself post-workout. Active rest recovery increases your blood circulation, improving soft tissue that’s been broken down by exercise. The blood flow delivers nutrients that help repair muscles, tendons and ligaments in the body. Practicing rest and recovery should happen in the hours post-workout to effectively get your body the nutrients and downtime it needs to keep up with the rest of your body.

Renew Your Strength

30Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:30-31 (NIV)
