The Incarnation is a ‘riches to rags’ story. Throughout all eternity, all the wealth of creation had been at His fingertips. Now He is born into a family so poor, that when He is born they cannot afford a lamb to sacrifice for their firstborn child as the law said to do. God, who knew nothing but perfection, takes on human suffering. For you, the Word became flesh. 2 Corinthians 8:9 (NIV) says, “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.”

We may not feel their pain, but our brains process the agony of others in milliseconds. A character on screen takes a punch and you instinctively wince. Watching a friend receive a shot and you feel your own arm tense. These reactions are not deliberate decisions. They come from brain activity that underlies the kind of fast, gut-level empathy you feel when you see someone get hurt. Scientists have now mapped the precise timing of this phenomenon, revealing exactly when your brain processes the pain of watching someone else get hurt. Researchers at Western Sydney University used EEG to track brain activity in 80 people watching videos of hands being touched in various ways, from gentle stroking to threatening scenarios. The brain processes pain information from observed touch in just 135 milliseconds. Pleasant versus unpleasant judgments emerge even faster (130ms), while threat assessment takes slightly longer (230ms). Surprisingly, this processing happens primarily in visual brain regions, not touch-processing areas. The findings challenge popular theories about mirror neurons and suggest our visual system is built to rapidly extract emotional meaning from what we observe, faster than conscious thought.

When you lose weight, the body responds as if survival is threatened: hunger hormones rise, cravings spike, and you burn fewer calories, all to push you back toward your old weight. Once you’ve gained weight, the brain treats that higher weight as the new normal and works hard to defend it, which is a major reason so many people regain pounds after dieting. Medications like Wegovy and Mounjaro, better sleep, movement, and balanced nutrition all work by helping “hack” these biological systems—but biology often pushes back once treatment or habits stop. Family habits, early childhood, food marketing, urban design, and social policies all shape weight and health—so long-term solutions require both personal habits and society-wide changes.

There is no heart so bleak and bare
�But heaven has sent some blessing there;
�No table, e're so sparsely spread,�
But that a grace should there be said.
��No life but knows some moment blest.�
Of sweet contentment and of rest;�
No heart so cold but heaven above�
Hath touched it with the warmth of love.
Look for the love that heaven sends,�
The good that every soul intends.�
Thus you will learn the only way
�To keep a true Thanksgiving day.

God’s Word says to have the same attitude as Jesus. That means, when you’re in pain, you should look around and see who else is in pain. You should think of others, even as you care for yourself. That’s a hard one. It’s your nature to be self-centered, because you’re human. When you’re suffering, you want to be comforted. How do you look at the pain of others when you’re in pain? With God’s grace, you can look past your own pain. And when you do, sin loses its power and you become more like Jesus. God can use your pain to help others struggling with the same pain. 1 Peter 4:1 (TLB) says, “Since Christ suffered and underwent pain, you must have the same attitude he did; you must be ready to suffer, too. For remember, when your body suffers, sin loses its power.”

Dropping temperatures trigger hormonal changes that increase hunger (ghrelin rises) while decreasing fullness signals (leptin drops), making people feel less satisfied after eating. Lower serotonin and dopamine levels from shorter days push the brain to seek carbohydrates, which boost these mood-regulating neurotransmitters and explain why people reach for bread, pasta, and chocolate. Adding spices like chili or cayenne, starting meals with high-fiber foods, eating protein-rich breakfasts, and drinking 500ml of water 30 minutes before meals all naturally reduce appetite through different biological mechanisms.

We’re often advised to move more—whether through exercise or simply standing up—to counteract the adverse effects of prolonged sitting. New research from the University of Birmingham suggests that eating foods high in flavanols (such as tea, berries, apples, and cocoa) may help protect blood vessels from the damage caused by prolonged periods of sitting. Previous research has shown that even a 1% dip in how well your arteries expand and contract bumps up your risk of heart disease, stroke, and heart attacks by 13%. After sitting for two hours, those who drank the high-flavanol drink did not exhibit the same declines, suggesting that flavanols can prevent blood vessel damage associated with prolonged sitting. The study is the first to find that fitness levels do not influence how flavanols affect blood vessels, meaning everyone may benefit from flavanol intake regardless of physical fitness.

It’s been scientifically proven that if you’re a grateful person then you will live happier and healthier. Unexpressed gratitude just comes off as being ungrateful. God wants us to be appreciative and God wants us to have a continuous attitude of Thanksgiving. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV) “Give thanks in all circumstances for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

Many people assume only sunlight causes skin darkening, but melanin—the pigment responsible for skin color—can be stimulated by several other factors. Beyond ultraviolet (UV) rays, visible light can also trigger melanin production, leading to darker skin or pigmentation spots. Traditional incandescent bulbs and modern fluorescent lights emit some UV rays and high-intensity visible light. Insufficient sleep and chronic stress can put the skin in a state of “chronic inflammation,” which continuously stimulates melanin-producing cells. Want to stop dark spots before they form? Prescription medications Hydroquinone and tretinoin (retinoic acid), work wonders. Skin care products that include ferulic acid, retinol (vitamin A), vitamin C, and and niacinamide, also work. Besides choosing the right ingredients, the timing and method of use matter too. The popular skin care formula vitamin C in the morning, vitamin A at night or early C, late A.

In the world of supplements, magnesium has become one of the most popular options in recent years. It’s a vital mineral for normal bodily functions including reducing blood pressure, helping with sleep, aiding with diabetes, and reducing the risk of heart disease. However, too much can have unwanted side effects. Along with diarrhea, people can experience stomach cramps and nausea when they take high doses of magnesium. Overdoing it on magnesium can also cause people to feel lethargic. In some instances, taking very high doses of the mineral leads to a medical emergency known as magnesium toxicity. (NOTE: when it come to medicine and supplements, consult your health care provider before starting or stopping.)

Today, Children’s Grief Awareness Day is designed to help us all become more aware of the needs of grieving children and of the benefits they obtain through the support of others. It’s a time to recognize the impact that comes with the death of a loved one and to ensure that children who are grieving receive the support they need. Creating a culture of empathy and compassion is one of the best things we can do to help support grieving children and their families. We can create a culture in which no child ever has to grieve alone.

It takes humility to say, “God, I’m going to go with your plan, not my plan; I’m going your way, not my way.” You want God to honor you, your family, your business, your life. But the Bible says that all of these things start with humility. Pride says, “Forget you, God”, but the Bible urges us over and over again to choose humility over pride. Have you humbled yourself and committed to following God’s path for your life? James 4:10 (NLT) promises, “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor.”
