Wednesday -  Oh The Wonder of It All

Isaiah 9:6 (KJV)

 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Thought For The Day:

Today I will let myself go  in a full experience of the wonder of Christ’s birth and all that He means to me.

As we wait on the manifestation of our bodies lining up to all the hard work we have been doing … remember it will come just keep up the good work. In waiting for anything it requires patience and lots of it at times. Guest what?? I can do all things through Chirst who strengthens me … (Phil. 4:13)J

Surprising Ways to Beat Diabetes

Stay Away from Cigarettes

Cigarette smokers have a 44 percent greater risk for developing type 2 diabetes compared with non-smokers, according a review of 25 studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. And the more you smoke, the higher your risk. Twenty or more cigarettes a day pushed diabetes risk up to 61 percent, while lighter smokers had a 29 percent risk compared with nonsmokers. Scientists aren’t sure whether smoking spurs the development of type 2 diabetes or whether smokers are more likely to be lax about diet and exercise. However, passive smoking also puts you at risk. Adults who are exposed to secondhand smoke have higher rates of type 2 diabetes than nonsmokers with no exposure, according to a study from Charles R. Drew University in Los Angeles.
