Sunday I preached about Jesus as man. One of the things I discussed was how Jesus practiced self-care. He went out alone to pray. He slept in a boat. He rested by a well while the disciples went into town for food. And on one occasion, when folks were looking for Him to do healing, He went elsewhere.

Most of us don’t do a good job with self-care. We’ve bought the lie that we must be always doing, and many feel guilty for taking necessary time for their own very valid needs.

When I look back, I realise Lori and I were horrible at self-care when we were younger. And I can see how it hurt us individually and as a couple. It’s high on my list of things I would change if I could live it all over again.

Do you make time for the self-care you need? Do you and your husband provide your marriage with the care it needs? Jesus gave us the example, and the permission, to engage in self-care, so let’s do it.

~ Paul – I’m XY, and self-care is good and right!
