Are
you being nourished? Of course your soul is being nourished
on Sunday mornings. But how about your body, is it nourished
during the week? Are you drinking enough water? If we forget to
water our plants, they look a little droopy don’t they? All of
the cells in our body need water so just think how droopy they
must look when they are deprived of water. A little water perks
up those plants and a little—or a lot—of water perks us up as
well.
The CDC reminds us that water helps our body keep its
temperature normal, protects our spinal cord and other sensitive
tissues, and rids our body of wastes through urination,
perspiration, and bowel movements. Our bodies need more water
when we’re in a hot climate (or summer in Cleveland), more
physically active, running a fever or having
diarrhea or vomiting. If we’re thirsty, we’re already dehydrated
so please remember to drink your water. And about that spiritual
nourishment? Remember to include God in your daily activities.

May you be nourished by
the abundant gifts of God,
