Step Three: Do Something. Responsibility demands action. Until you do something about shape of your life, nothing is going to change. And here’s kicker: because it is your life and you are responsible for way it looks, only you can decide what you must do. So, take stock of your life and do what you can do to improve it. If you have been sitting around, get up. If you can’t run, then walk. When you fall down, take a minute to gather yourself, and then get up and continue with your plan of action. Because in final analysis, how much we weigh is not a fraction as important as taking responsibility for our lives by doing what we can to make them healthier and happier.

When I arrived back to apartment in Blackshear where we were living, I ate something and sat down to rest. My daughter, Eva, came in from work and I could tell something was wrong with her. I said, "What's wrong Beaver?" Beaver is my nickname for her. Eva replied, "Daddy, I've got bad stomach cramps and only thing I am craving is some of those little boiled potatoes." A smile came to my lips as I said, "Eva, LORD has grown something special for you to meet your need this very hour."

I drove back to country, went under barn, picked up new potatoes, came home, and cooked them for her. When she finished eating, she said, "Praise God, my stomach cramps are gone and I feel so much better." I replied, "See how much JESUS cares about you. You are special to Him."

Psalm 34,8 "O taste and see that LORD is good: Blessed is man that trusteth in him."
