Living in a Body here on earth

The way I was taught just like many of you is that our body is a Temple of God which God can inhabit to help us and all life around us.

So, this is my ongoing experience. It's not that everyone chooses for their body to be a Temple of God for God to live in, it's just how I was trained to think and to actually experience my life.

There was a quote from a book next to my wife's bed on her bedside table and I picked up this book and opened it to a place where it said:

"The boy was asked what he wanted to be when he grew up? The boy said, "Kind".

This is always what I was taught too.

Only it was phrased a little differently.

I was taught at age 4 when people asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up I was to tell them:
 

"I want to be a Gentleman when I grow up!"

This is what I said to people.

And so when I grew up I became a gentleman in that I helped all my friends and acquaintances both male and female of any age whenever I could.

It was sort of like growing up to become a Knight in some ways.

I still think of myself as a Knight protecting people whenever I can.

This has all created a very good and amazing life for me and my family and friends.

By God's Grace
