Snack on Hugs

The other day I asked my Wellness Revelation group how I could pray for them. My friend Gerry, who is a terrifically busy lady, posted, "please pray that I stop snacking hugs!" After reading her message I sat back in my chair and wondered why she would need prayer to stop "snacking hugs", and then I realized, in her hurry, she forgot to place a comma between snacking and hugs.

Since then, I have

adopted the phrase into my vocabulary, and when I am in want, I ask myself, do I need to snack on love? Love comes in so many beautiful forms, from Eros, the passionate love of a spouse, Philia, the affection of a friend, Ludus, a playful love, Philautia, the love of self, Storage, a parent to child love, or Xenia, to love another through the gift of hospitality.

We can put all these forms of love into practice by calling a friend, playing a game with our families, hugging our children, giving ourselves a manicure, or donating our time or money to our neighbors. But, it is good to remember that all forms


of affection flow from the source, the Agape love of God.

John 3:16 reads, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

So, I'm going to settle into Jesus' embrace and snack on the best food, His Word, and be filled with God's Agape love.

Changing to a ND-prescribed nutritional plan is hard, hard, hard—but can be life-changingly worth it. Thank you for sharing your struggles and journey!

From what I have been reading. In the book Let food be your medicine by Dr Colbert sometimes it could be an inflammatory issue in your body and you body is letting it show on your skin. You eat pretty healthy but who knows you maybe eating a healthy thing like peppers for example that is causing inflammation in your gut /intestine. Just a thought. Love your work! Dawn R

I would not take the same injection but would ask the doctor for other options.
