The weather has been warming, turning a little more gentle in this part of the world. And I’m glad for this, more gentle weather seems to lighten the heaviness just a bit. This is true atmospherically, too. I think this is important as we navigate this month that surrounds us with thoughts of relationships. Thank you for this opportunity to join you for this episode of the Weekly encouragement! I hope you’re enjoying healthy relationships. It’s wonderful to be able to have this. Healthy relationships can help us in our physical health, too. It isn’t always a correlation, but I just have a good sense about this. In Proverbs in the Old Testament, we learn that laughter is good medicine. This leads me to believe that healthy relationships can affect our physical health. So I certainly hope this for each of my family and friends, for each of you. We know that life doesn’t always happen in this form, however. I know people who have had strong relationships yet their physical health was difficult, perhaps myself included in this. I wonder if there are things (especially in this season that highlights and appreciates relationships of the romantic type), are there things we can do to improve our relationships, maybe even if our physical health has challenges? You will hear really good concepts to encourage better health in your mind, body, and spirit from today’s Weekly encouragement! episode, including having strong mental health. A group of women are having an honest conversation about these concepts, constructs, somewhat gearing this towards women, but I am fully convinced from listening to this that men are included in the wisdom of this discussion. A first foundation of the conversation is to order your belief to know that, no matter what life does to you, to know that God loves you. This is a good place to begin building, in light of Valentine’s Day and relationships, to know that God loves you in a way that encourages wholeness. This is a good foundation for all relationships. Having faith, trusting God when we don’t understand, taking care of your body and your health, these are all keys in healthy relationships. They are also fundamentals of faith in the Bible. I hope your relationships are well, I hope you are experiencing good health. I know there are some who are experiencing struggles in these areas, some who have had the most painful loss in this colorful season where gentle hearts are supposed to share love. I’m deeply sorry for this kind of pain today. Please let the love of God that encourages wholeness begin to heal your heart. I’m praying for you because I love you.
