Do You Want to Get Well? Why Not?

13 Reasons Most People Don’t Want To Get Well

1) No one will feel sorry for me.
You are asked how are you today? You respond, "chile you know when you reach a certain age everything goes. This arthritis is acting up; my pressure is up and the doctor said that my kidneys are weak. Otherwise I am fine."

2) I will have to do my own chores.
"I need a home maker. This house work is too much for me."

3) Have to hold a job.
Can’t run from hard work anymore; can’t retire.

4) I can't draw disability.
If I’m well I can’t draw disability; it’s better than working.

5) Can't get a handicap sticker for parking.

6) People will blame me when I forget.
Can't use the excuse, “my mind ain't what it used to be”.

7) Can’t get into special housing (senior citizen housing).

8) No more freebees from church and other organizations.

9) Have to accept responsibilities.
e.g., I’m sick please don’t stress me out asking me to pay bills etc.

10) No one will wait on me hand and foot.
e.g., “Child get me a glass of water these old bones ache every time I move”.

11) No special treatment
“You know I’m sick”.

12) Too sick to be of service to others.
“I can’t feed the homeless, I need somebody to feed me”.

13) Can’t do or say whatever I please.
We all know that nobody want to hurt a sick person.

Thirteen reasons why you don’t want to get well... Although they may seem comical, people settle into the attention and excuses for maintaining ill health.

We marvel at the question Jesus asked the lame man laying by the pool waiting for someone to push him in when the water was troubled, do you want to be healed?. Jesus' reply was if you want to be healed, take up your bed and walk.

Are you ready to give up all of the false privileges of being sick? Then take up your bed and walk. Be responsible for your own health and well being. You and you alone are responsible for your health.

My Journey to Health

My Journey To Health

For the past five years I have been searching the internet, making phone calls, and writing letters trying to locate friends and classmates from my past. When i find one, I always inquire whether they know how to locate others. I am finding that the majority of them have died, some at a very young age.

When I think of my family; my father suffered long and died at age forty eight, my mother was disabled for many years and died while in her sixties, my brother died in the war at age ninteen, my oldest sister died at age thirty and my youngest sister died last year. I am the lone survivor. I could write several stories of relatives and in-laws who started out with large families and are now down to one or two with many dying at early ages.

God has blessed me with good health. That was not always the case. At age nineteen I came down with a disease that until today, doctors can not identify. I made a promise to God; that if He spared my life that I would be a blessing to others. I did not keep the promise.

I have come to the conclusion that God needs healthy bodies in order to fulfill the work of the kingdom. I have founded a company and sought out products that I use to stay well. I also believe that it is God’s will that I be a blessing, through my example to others.

There is a saying that what you don’t know wont hurt you. I have learned that what you don’t know can and will kill you. I will spend my time and money trying to educate people about how they can live a full healthy life... the natural way.
