As the Lord continues to bless us with more years, we should all be looking for ways to strengthen our bodies, minds, and spiritual health. Often, the hardest part is getting started. Here are some ideas to get started in maintaining a healthy body, mind, and soul:

Body

• - Get out for a neighborhood walk. Stop to greet the neighbors.
• - Join a gym. Many healthcare plans cover the cost of a gym membership.
• - Get out and enjoy nature. If you are still able, go for a hike along a nature trail. Remember to always carry your cell phone in case you run into unforeseen issues along the way.

Mind

• - Try completing a puzzle, crossword, or word game (like the one at the back of the Broadcaster!).
• - Join friends for a card game.
• - Attend a lecture that will pique your interests.

Soul

• - Begin your day with a devotion.
• - Attend a weekly worship service and a Bible study.
• - Become a mentor to a younger person who could benefit from your wisdom.

As the warmer spring weather greets us, we can all find ways to become physically, mentally, and spiritually stronger in the Lord.
