Lifestyle Issues - help for the mind, body and spirit -note this page is currently being updated and links checked

We all need to remember that humans are complex beings. We are made up of different parts - our mind, our body and our spirit.

BODY, MIND and SPIRIT --- this lifestyle page deals with some of the issues some of us may have to face at different times of our lives. 
Sometimes the issues are practical affecting our living situation or health. At other times it will be our mental health. Sometimes we need to recognise the spiritual dimension to all our lives.
Some of the information is particularly for Christians, other information will be useful to everyone. Some of the links are to well known organisations who have no spiritual emphasis but are experts in their field.

FOOTSTEPS

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life, that there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him, and he questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why, when I needed you most you would leave me". The Lord replied "My Son, My precious child. I Love You, and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you".
