“For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God” (Romans 8:14).
I started my morning with devotion, because connecting with God first sets the tone for everything else. It softens my spirit, clears my mind, and creates a smooth, steady flow for my entire day. Once I’m anchored in Him, the rest of my choices feel guided, not forced.
I let my spirit, and yes, my spirit guide me towards what my body needed. Before the day rushed in, I reached for a warm cup of tea made with lemon, cinnamon, clove, and ginger. Nothing fancy. Just a few of nature’s very best, steeped with intention.
As I sipped, I felt each ingredient doing its quiet work:
Lemon
- Brightens the system and supports gentle cleansing
- Offers a refreshing lift that wakes up the mind
- Rich in vitamin C, helping the body feel fortified
Cinnamon
- Brings warmth and comfort
- Supports healthy blood sugar balance
- Naturally soothing to the digestive system
Clove
- Known for its grounding, comforting aroma
- Supports oral and digestive wellness
- Carries natural antioxidant properties
Ginger
- Awakens circulation and brings heat to the body
- Supports digestion and eases tension
- A classic go-to for seasonal and overall wellness
Together, they created a cup that felt like a well-needed embrace, warm, clarifying, and steadying.
Moving My Body With Intention
After my tea, I leaned into movement.
Sixteen minutes of strength training with dumbbells; slow, controlled, intentional.
Then forty minutes on the treadmill, letting my breath find its rhythm and my thoughts settle into gratitude.
Not perfection. Not pressure. Just presence.
Movement is ministry too. It’s a way of saying,
“Lord, thank You for this body. Help me steward it well today.”
A Gentle Reminder for You
Your wellness doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s a warm cup of tea, a few minutes of strength, a walk or run that clears the mind, and a willingness to listen to what your spirit is whispering.
Be well and be blessed.
With love and purpose,
