Self-Control

This Christmas I wish for peace...contentment with the busyness of the holidays.  I pray for self-control so that I can remain healthy and happy. I know what too much sugar does to my body and my health, so I choose to avoid most of it.  Funny thing about sugar, once you start eating all those little goodies, it is hard to stop and it becomes a permanent part of your diet again.  It is going to be hard I know! 
I choose to keep exercising at the pool because it makes me feel better and is good for my body.  Discipline is hard and all of us struggle in different areas.  I have one area of struggle right now that plaques me and I can't seem to get a grip on it.  I am thinking though, that discipline in one area might lead to discipline in another area.  That is my prayer and self-control is under the fruit of the spirit which I have talked about on my other blog.  
Have a joyous, healthy Christmas!
