Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.
1 Corinthians 6:19, 20
We all have bodies, mine is now 91 years old! All of us believers have bodies, a blessed thing, indeed.
So, what does that mean? We believers came to God as whole persons, body, mind and spirit. God cleansed us top to bottom in all areas of our being.
I gave up the right to rule my body but have turned that rule over to Jesus Christ! I am eternally grateful that God led me to relinquish control of my life all these years. Now and again I do feel inclined to take back at least some of that rule. None of that! God is able! I want all of me to be God’s. Every day I lay down my will and choose God’s will.
In this way I honor God, by placing all my life into His hands. I am convinced that I honor God with the body he gave me.
Jacobs Thoughts and Doings 
So….we’re both 91 now….and God willing, I’ll jump ahead in September. Anne 91 too, but she’ll have to wait until 2020 to catch me again. Did any of us expect God would be pleased to bring us this far? Yes…we know it’s all in His purpose. That being said, Anne is increasingly weak….can hardly get in and out of car, which doesn’t happen too often anyway. Wheel chair a must now. In those “earlier days”, who’d have even given it a passing thought? Now we know it’s all in His plan.
We look to Jesus one day at a time…..
