Take care of Yourself!

So often times as busy single mom’s, we often neglect our own needs and wants. We walk around as sleep deprived, over-worked, under-nourished mommy-zombies ready for the next pick up or drop off.

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? I Corinthians 6:19

God has such great plans for our lives but He simply cannot carry them out if His temple is not in top condition. HE has chosen to reside in YOU, because He loves you. That means, your heart, your mind, your spirit and your BODY. Sure, it is extremely important that you do for your children, but don’t forget about yourself! Get plenty of rest, proper nutrition, exercise, medical, dental and optical care, quality time with your children, your own free time without children occasionally and of course your personal devotion time with Your Father in Heaven. And go buy yourself that new pair of shoes you have been longing for! It all makes for well-rounded happiness!
