5 things you shouldn't do during winter : Read carefully

This might be too much for some of us, but these are ways to protect ourselves during the winter period from a lot of bacterias and promote good health. When it gets cold what comes to our minds is how to cover up wearing jackets and boots. The hygiene that is needed in winter is a lot, but I will start by sharing some major mistakes we need to avoid.
 1.Coat rack: A lot of people do not have the habit of washing winter jackets due to its thickness and sometimes the bacteria that inhabits inside some jackets you don't want to know. When hanging your jacket in a restaurant or public place, make sure your coat or jacket is hanged on one separate hanger. There are people with bad body odor and the smell can be transferred to your jacket if kept together for a long time. Also, bed bugs can transfer from one person to the other by this means . 
2. Doors: I wrote a post on personal guide to excellent hygiene which is very important for everyone to follow. Do not open any door with looking at the handle. Winter is a period when people have running nose, cough and sneeze a lot due to the change in temperature and harsh weather condition. This help to avoid touching any person's mess by mistake. Use your gloves to open the door or carry along a spare gloves for this. I am talking out of experience, I didn't touch the mess but I wasn't myself when I got home.
3. Snow eating: For those who are in the habit of eating snow/licking snow you can do it in a better way. Do not just pick snow from any area because no one was matched on it, saliva does leave it's Mark on snow, you might end up taking in saliva or any bacteria. if you want to eat snow, do yourself well but putting a clean bow outside your window when it starts snowing and get clean and neat snow.
4 Do not start a relationship because it is winter. Over the years I have heard sayings like, I can't be alone it's winter... ladies and gentlemen if you start a winter relationship what about summer? don't be used as the seasons body/bed warmer.
5. Keep fit. In my previous post I explained a lot about winter fitness, you can read more here.

    1. I am glad you know now. Winter is moist and it is very important we use our winter coats 2-3 times during the winter period.

“Lavish Your Best On The Lord” Sunday, May 18, 2025

Key Verse “Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her” (Mark 14:9). Text —Mark 14:3-9 Message To lavish your best on the Lord, start by giving Him your whole heart. Then use your unique gifts and abilities to serve Him. This could include anything from singing in the choir to teaching at Sunday school. Even if it’s hard or uncomfortable, give your best to the Lord. Take inspiration from the woman in our today’s Bible text who poured out her costly oil. Like David, she decided to offer to the Lord that which cost her something (2 Samuel 24:24). The hymn writer Frances Havergal wrote, “Take my life, and let it be Consecrated Lord to thee.” Christ is our perfect example of giving; He gave His life for us, and we have no reason to withhold our best from Him. So, let us give our time, talents and treasures, even in the most difficult times, because the difficult times are the best times to give. Never mind the side-talks of those that see it as a waste but make sure you give yourself first before other things. When you give your best, you’re laying up treasures in heaven. Quote Christ is our perfect example of giving Challenge Start by giving your life to Christ. Prayer for today Lord, please give me the grace to give my best to you.
