Your Body Clock Is a Gift, Not a Nuisance

Long before clocks hung on walls or phones buzzed on nightstands, God built rhythm into creation. Genesis tells us that God made the lights in the heavens “to separate the day from the night” and “to mark sacred times, and days and years” (Genesis 1:14).

Quotes by Charles Stone (?)

“Gratefulness is actually good for brain and body health (Korb, 2012). In one study researchers asked participants to keep a daily journal of what they were grateful for. They asked another group to write about what annoyed them. The group who recorded what they were grateful for showed greater determination, attention, enthusiasm, and energy compared to the other group. In another study the same researchers discovered that even keeping a weekly gratefulness journal reduced aches and pains. And in a Chinese study, gratefulness decreased depression and improved sleep.”
