August 14


And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Colossians 3:15

Scott was cranky. He had been on a diet for two weeks, and it wasn't getting easier. Now his friends wanted to drag him off to some stupid prayer meeting at the church. Begrudgingly, Scott agreed to go. Before long, his mind was off of food and onto the message the pastor was delivering. Scott got caught up in praying for the needs of others, and he completely forgot about his own hunger. The time passed quickly, and Scott was surprised. His friends just smiled and told Scott that there was a lesson there for him somewhere.  When we turn our attention from ourselves to others, great things can happen.

Today's Thought:  I want to care for others as much as I care about myself!

Today's Tip:  Fruit And Veggies

Do you want to cut down on your risk of developing heart disease? Then follow the good old advice of eating plenty of fruits and vegetables. A study of more than 125,000 people published in the June 19, 2001 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine found that eating even one extra serving of a fruit or vegetable daily lowers the risk of heart disease by 4%. The researchers found that fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, as well as green leafy vegetables, offered the greatest protection. So next time you're hungry for a snack, grab a fruit!
