The Feast of Ala

The Feast of Ala' brings us to the month of fasting. For some this is a difficult exercise. Many of us have chronic illnesses, heavy work schedules, are elderly or all of these impediments. God expects us to do the best we can with a joyful heart as well as love in our hearts. Personally, I try and adjust my meds so that I can fast during the day, but liquids are a must due to the nature of my work and exposure to the elements. I have made a promise to use these 19 days to return to a better diet for my diabetes that utilizes the food I eat to assist in controlling my blood sugar instead of injecting three medicatios, one trice daily.
