How's Your Stool Sample...?

We all want to be healthy, right? The important thing to remember in judging one's health, however, is that your life is like a stool with 4 legs, and for a balanced life all of those legs need to be healthy. (Have you ever been on a stool that's unbalanced? It's annoying as you teeter and rock a bit... then it becomes kinda fun... but then after a while it's annoying again.)

You have Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual aspects to your life. We usually work diligently on the physical, mental and emotional parts, but all too often we tend to neglect the spiritual "leg" of our lives, leaving our life's "stool" off kilter and unbalanced. We wonder why things aren't going great and why, even when in all the other areas of our life we are happy and healthy, we still feel empty and unfulfilled.

May I suggest that as you are working on your physical area at the gym, developing your emotional area with good friends and strong family relationships, stretching your mental muscles with education, good books and crossword puzzles, that you also seek to invest in the spiritual area of your life by seeking God? And not just any god, because all of them will leave you hollow and wanting except Jesus Christ. Seriously... fix the wobble in your stool and refuse to live unbalanced or frustrated any longer. Find a church where you can hear biblical truth, make good friends, and seek God. Then you'll strengthen all 4 of your legs! :-)

Check your stool sample....

Excellent, Dairn. I am trying to encourage my students to go to church - it's amazing how many don't attend on a regular basis even though they are attending a christian school. I think they often feel they don't have to because of school. My argument to them is that they will leave school, then what?
Church really is an excellent way of supporting all aspects of our lives!! I dare say, it is a necessity of life! :)
