Several months ago, I was flipping through a magazine and ran across an article featuring several well known celebreties - all dressed in RED.
It was, of course, for heightened awareness of heart disease in women. Good idea. I was reminded of it again a few days ago, when I read something I've read at least a hundred times before. But this time, it held a new meaning.
"Above all else, guard your heart, for from it flow the springs of life." ~ Proverbs 4:23
I don't know if Solomon or the writer of this particular wise-saying had the physical heart in mind, but I think there is a truth there to ponder.
The design of the human body is amazing. Only an all-knowing creator could have even imagined such an intricate structure. At the center of it all is our heart, pumping the springs of life throughout our body.
It does seem wise indeed that we should guard it, protect it, take good care of it.

Shannon,
I know this may sound "Hallmark-ish," but seriously, with every heartbeat that I feel and every pulse that I see, I am reminded of God's faithfulness to breathe life into me. UNREAL is the human body, and how intricate we are! Amazing. How that little muscle keeps on beating, one so important that keeps everything else in line, is something I cannot fathom...a miracle that the Lord of all creation breathes life into us. Praise the Lord!!
