Faith in action

Dear Editor:

I trust in God and I brush my teeth. I trust in God and I pay my bills. I trust in God and I eat healthy food. I trust in God and I look both ways before I cross the street. I trust in God and I go for check-ups. I trust in God and I don’t smoke. I trust in God and I wear my seatbelt. I trust in God and I get vaccinated.

My trust in God is not negated because I try to make wise decisions in my life. My faith is enhanced because I am expressing my love through the venues God has given me to love Him.

My call as a Christian is to love the Lord with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. Loving Him with my heart and soul means loving others as myself and serving others by putting their needs in the forefront. Loving Him with my mind is about learning through the Bible, but also about learning through Science, which is the study of the world God made. Loving Him with all my strength means doing the best that I can to be a good steward of all that the Lord has blessed me with - my family, my friends, my time, and creation.

Getting the vaccine is a safe, simple, and effective way to put my faith in action. I was vaccinated joyfully and with thanksgiving. I hope you will be too!
