cherise your body

The first of the year is always the time for a clean slate and renewed determination to meet goals. My husband sent me this quote that reminded me that even spiritual blessings can come from keeping your body healthy.

"I remember a blessing I received when I was serving in the military. It included counsel that's good for every young person:

You have been given a body of such physical proportions and fitness as to enable your spirit to function through it...You should cherish this as a great heritage. Guard it and protect it. Take nothing into it that shall harm the organs thereof because it is sacred. It is the instrument of your mind and the foundation of your character.


That counsel had great influence on me." - Boyd Packer.

Best wishes to every one with making and keeping your goals this year. Happy New Year!
