    Jesus, when I think about Yourpromise to never leave or forsake

    me, 3 a warm feeling wells upwithin me. Nothing can compare

    to this promise. You are theonly one who can make such a

    guarantee. I could lose everythingelse that is dear to me my

    health, wealth, and loved onesbut I will never lose You. You

    remain faithful. You stick closer

    than skin, nearer than my shadow.You are the great constant in life.

    Thank You for that!

    THE HEALTH AND HAPPINESSCONNECTION

    He who has health has hope andhe who has hope has everything.

    Arabian proverb

    It is health that is real wealth and notpieces of gold and silver. MahatmaGandhi (18691948)

    Happiness is nothing more than goodhealth and a bad memory. Albert Schweitzer (18751965)

    It is amazing how much crisper thegeneral experience of life becomes whenyour body is given a chance to develop alittle strength. Frank Duff (18891980)

    A healthy relationship with Godcontributes to better overall health byalleviating worry. The peace of God,which surpasses all understanding, willguard your hearts and minds throughChrist Jesus. 1 David Brandt Berg(19191994)

    It is against Gods rules of health andhappiness to work seven days a week.David Brandt Berg

    God wants you to be a well-balanced,well-rounded individual, physically,spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. Thatmeans not going to extremes. Use a littlecommon sense. David Brandt Berg

    It tells us that mind and body are linkedand that attitude has an impact on thefinal outcome, death. Toshihiko Maruta,lead researcher of a decades-long study by the Mayo Clinic in which optimistic peoplelived about 19% longer than pessimists
