Should you despair over a relationship gone wrong, think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved. Should you grieve the passing of another vacation, think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week, to feed her family. Should you run out of gas, think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk to the service station. Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror, think of the cancer patient in chemotherapy who wishes she had a hair to examine.

There are those who didn't live long enough to get that opportunity. should you find ignorance, smallness, or insecurities, remember, this also happened to Jesus. Today may there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.

Due to a combination of factors including decreased physical activity, increased time in front of the computer/television, and poor eating habits, the prevalence of childhood obesity is rapidly rising. This epidemic in turn leads to further problems including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, pre-diabetes and, later in life, an increased risk for stroke, heart attack and certain cancers. As explained in the article “Little Bodies, Weighty Issues: Comprehensive program puts kids on the healthy living track” ( http://physical-therapy.advanceweb.com/Archives/Article-Archives/Little-BodiesWeighty-Issues.aspx), this is a trend that can be reversed. With intervention including increased physical activity and improved nutrition habits, obesity in children can be reduced. Plus, intervention teaches the children better lifestyle habits and choices that they can continue into adulthood.
