Nathans ideas

Moderation is the written account of how I am learning to balance and master the principles of eating right. In addition to the exploration of food and how its nutrients can determine our health, I also want Moderation to be a place that discusses the daily blessings that the Lord has for us.

My husband has been initiating conversations on the concept of meditation, not the modern day mediation but the concept of how to practice meditation and how to allow the practice to add peace to our daily living. We have had several good conversations and I am encouraged to meditate for 10 mins a day. Today was my first day and to guide my meditation I read Philippians 4:4-8. It was hard to only think about this passage and to stop my thoughts from wondering. I am going to meditate on the passage for 1 week. Please join me and tell me about your experience.

Passage: Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
