YOUR SPIRITUAL HEALTHCARE PLAN

It's that time of year again. Time for you to choose your plan and select your benefits.

As always, remember, after any life-changing event you should review your Spiritual policy and make any necessary changes and/or updates. Ask yourself is the coverage that I currently have, sufficient for what I’m through right now, have upcoming, or have recently gone through. If your answer is YES, and you’re good, then there is no need to continue.

But, for the rest of us, let’s begin the questionnaire.
First question: How many dependents do you have? Dependents are those who are looking to you for Spiritual guidance and/or leadership.

If you are unsure of who all is watching you to see how you live your life, not a problem, we can come back to that later.

Next. What is your death insurance policy? Will those you leave behind be informed or surprised by knowing where your final resting place is?

What provisions have you made? Will they also be taken care of based upon the policy you chose? Do they know what policy you chose?

Who are the beneficiaries of your life? What type of inheritance have you left? Will your loved ones and others make the same mistakes that you made, or have you shown them the WAY?

Many of the same type of considerations we think about when it comes to Physical Healthcare we should also apply to our Spiritual Healthcare.

Assurance is just as vital as Insurance.

Our Spiritual Healthcare Plan is not only about what we leave behind, but it is also about how we live out our lives in front of others.

With numerous technological advancements over the past century, Healthcare has had to expand its focus on medicine from being the only means of treating a person, and go back to its historical spiritual roots, which recognized that spirituality is also a vital part of healthcare.

Spiritual Care or Compassionate Care as it is commonly known involves serving the whole person; physical, emotional, social, and spiritual self.

One physician described it this way: Helping, Fixing and Serving.

We should Help the weak. Fix those that are broken. While always being mindful to Serve the whole person.

That’s what Spiritual Healthcare is all about, the whole person.

The effect of spirituality on healthcare is an area of active research. Besides being studied by physicians, it has also gotten the attention of psychologists, sociologists, and other whole healthcare professionals.

Your Spiritual Wellness is about your ability to help yourself and others based upon the strength that you draw from our faith. How strong is your faith? Is it strong enough to help someone else?

Perhaps you’ve heard the phrase “hurt people, hurt other people “, well the converse of that is also true “healed people, help other people heal”

The first human being, Adam, began his journey as a lump of clay. Cold, hard, insensitive, inflexible, and without purpose, just a dead soul.

God brought him to life when he blew His Spirit into him. Gods Spirit then became man’s spirit, and then man became a “living soul”. Our spirit/spirituality is what makes us alive. Our connection to God is our lifeline!

The Bible says we are body, mind, and spirit. Our spirit is not last, or the least of us, quite the contrary, it is what completes us. It makes us whole.

How is your current Spiritual Healthcare plan working out for you? Are you peaceful or panicked?

Here are a few Spiritual Wellness tips that will Help, Heal, and Serve you on this journey

·       Make time to be alone and quiet.

·       Explore your inner thoughts about your feelings on things.

·       Go for a leisurely walk looking at nature.

·       Meditate, take some deep breathes and then exhale. Allow peace to come into your heart.

·       Reflect on recent events in your life, as well as those close to you

·       Gather with trusted people/person in a comfortable setting to discuss life's big questions as well as the afterlife

·       Find a community of others where you can worship and experience God in a spiritual way. Selah!

Improving your Spiritual Healthcare will also help improve your quality of life! Viewing life Spiritually helps us to see more than the natural confusion in front of us. Seeing Spiritually brings clarity.

“So, we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal” Corinthians 4

Be Well in your Spirit, Be Well in your Life!
