My weekly weigh-in revealed a four ounce gain; still five pounds to go. Seriously…when placed in proper perspective, to the enormity of this week, I don’t want to come off indifferent (cause you know for the last 51 weeks, I’ve been anyting BUT indifferent!) – but compared to the B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L eight pound and seven ounce I gained this week,
my newest niece, Winter! Drool away…she’s a cutie! Along with the celebration of Jesus’ birth…just three days later, my weight just seems so…whatever!
The hope of new life is what Christmas is all about! God used my little sweet Winnie to re-reveal His promise of hope in new life!
All because of Jesus, I have the hope of new life…a clean slate and another shot at doing it right! Through this lifestyle change to true physical, spiritual and emotional health, I too have a chance at new life and it was made possible because of Jesus Christ!
I hope your Christmas was special and that the gift of New Life because of His Life is the main thing for you!
