~ Keep Your Faith Supple with 'Swir-etch-iggles' . ~

What does  'Swir-etch-iggles'  mean ?  Good question, I'll explain in a bit.

What does 'Supple' mean ? Another Good question.
Basically, Supple means to keep something Flexible so that it doesn't 'Stiffen Up' or 'Seize Up', and to keep it 'Freely Moving'.  

An example is keeping your Muscles & Joints Supple so they don't 'Stiffen Up' and become Tight.
I Learned the Importance of this over 20 years ago when I used to do quite a bit of physical training. I Learned that it's Helpful to your Overall Fitness to do Regular Stretching and Low Impact Movements to keep your Muscles & Joints 'Free Moving' & 'Flexible', and therefore keeping them 'Supple'. 

This also Helps towards keeping your Mind Supple so you can Think Better and more Clearly.
A Good Stretch can Release tension in your muscles and Help you feel more Relaxed.

For Many years now (as far back as I can remember) since I Learned the Importance of Keeping Supple, I've been doing Stretches Every Day.
It's Not Yoga or anything like that, it's just different Stretches & Movements that I've found Helps keep my body Supple.

I start with 'Swirling' my arms round in circles, followed by my wrists.
Then Gently 'Stretch' my neck side to side and left to right.
After that I put my hands together behind my back and Gently bend forward, lifting my hands up as high as I can to 'Stretch' my shoulders, arms & back, Gently standing up and shaking my arms.
Next I slowly twist side to side with my arms out to 'Stretch' my lower back & stomach.

Onto my legs I bend forward with my arms pointing to the floor to 'Stretch' the back of my legs.
A few Gentle squats help 'Stretch' my thighs, and then into the lunge position to Gently 'Stretch' my calves & hamstring.
'Swirling' my feet round and round helps to keep my feet loose.
And finishing off by shaking my arms & legs to loosen them up, and then the Fun bit, 'Jiggling' all my body from my legs up to my arms, like a Bird does when its feathers are wet and it 'Jiggles' all over to shake the water off.

This leaves my body feeling Refreshed, Supple & Free Moving.

I do this Every Day when I get up, and before I go to bed, as well as a few bits throughout the day.
It's not something that's a Strict Routine. I know I don't 'Have' to do it. 
But I 'Choose' to do it because it Helps me.

There have been times when I haven't done it for a while, and at first it feels ok, but after a bit I notice my muscles & joints starting to 'Stiffen Up' a bit. So I prefer to do it Every Day as it's much Better to keep it up.

I Don't view it as a Chore. I 'Enjoy' it, especially the 'Jiggling'. 

So, as I wrote at the beginning I'd explain what 'Swir-etch-iggle' means, 

Swirls ~ Stretches ~ Jiggles  =  'Swir-etch-iggles'. 

Just as we need to keep our bodies 'Supple', we also need to keep our Faith 'Supple', so that it doesn't 'Stiffen Up' or worse 'Seize Up'.

How do You do that ?

~ 'Swir-etch-iggle'  Your Faith ~ 

   Do something Every Day to Keep Your Faith 'Supple'.
Don't let Your Faith become Rigid & Stiff. Be Flexible & Open to God.

Too many people have become 'Set in Their Ways' and they're Missing Out on a Joyful Life, as well as not Fulfilling their Part in God's MasterPlan.

The people in the Bible who Achieved Great Things for God where the people who were 'Adaptable' to God's Guidance. They kept Their Faith 'Supple'. 
They spent Time With God Every Day, they Listened to Him, Trusted Him, and Believed Him. And they put His Guidance into 'Action'. 

Find Ways that work Well for 'You' that will Help keep Your Faith 'Supple'. 
Your Faith is Personal to 'You' so you need to find what works 'Best for You'. 

But make sure You keep it 'Enjoyable'. 
Too many people have let their Faith become 'Dull & Boring'. And when other people 'See' it, then they're Not Inspired by it, so they 'Turn Away' from God.

The Truth is, there's Nothing 'Dull & Boring' about God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit. They Created 'Joy'. The Fruit of the Spirit is 'Joy'.  

Jesus says to You, “I have come to give You Life, and More Abundantly 
so that Your Life Overflows with Joy”. 
The Holy Spirit is Your Helper to 'Lead You' in the Truth so 
You can be Free & Enjoy Your Life.
And God is Your Creator, who wants to Enjoy a Loving Relationship with You, and Guide You so You can 'Be The Person Who He Created You To Be'. 

So Enjoy Your Faith and Keep it Supple.

Swirl it ~ Stretch it ~ Jiggle it
