Your Question:
Can I even afford to take care of my health?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen many people prioritize wealth and material possessions over their health, only to find that it's ultimately taken away from them. I've had to counsel individuals who have suffered from heart attacks, diabetes, and other health issues that could have been prevented with a healthier lifestyle. It's a hard lesson to learn, but one that I believe is essential for true happiness. As a husband and father, I want to make sure that I'm setting a good example for my wife, Susan, and our children, Joshua and Rebecca. I know that if I'm not taking care of my own health, I won't be able to be there for them in the way that they need me. That's why I try to make time for regular exercise, healthy eating, and stress management. It's not always easy, but I know that it's worth it in the long run. In fact, I've seen firsthand the impact that good health can have on relationships and overall well-being. When I'm feeling my best, I'm a better husband, father, and pastor. I'm more patient, more present, and more able to serve others. So, to answer your question, I believe that taking care of one's health is essential, not just for physical well-being, but for emotional and spiritual well-being as well. It's a investment that's worth making, even if it requires some sacrifices along the way.
