Regardless of your stance on vaccinations, I’m grateful to have followed my doctor’s advice and kept up with them. Even when doubts crept in, I chose to trust the process—and this week, that decision made all the difference. After feeling unwell, I bounced back quickly, reminding me that vaccines aren’t cures, but powerful tools that help us recover more quickly and face challenges with greater resilience.

Faith works in much the same way. It doesn’t shield us from every hardship, but it equips us to respond, endure, and grow stronger through adversity. Remember: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

So, what can we do to prepare ourselves for life’s ups and downs?

• Stay connected through prayer, meditation, and fellowship.
• Practice your faith in service.
• Take care of your body with rest, exercise, and healthy habits.
• Nourish your mind and spirit with scripture and reflection.

These disciplines build resilience, helping us not just to survive, but to thrive when challenges come our way. Take care of your health, nurture your soul, and step into each day with confidence and hope!

“For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.”
1 Timothy 4:8

Good morning, I love you all!
