However, all of this is wear and tear on your heart. When we do not take control of our lifestyle, the stress and strain of daily living have a chance to take control and take over.
Respect. What a strong word. When we respect something or someone, we do what we can to do what is expected of us. We do what we can to not aggravate that person or situation. We try not to anger or do anything that would cause trouble. We should treat our hearts with this same type of respect. It does a lot for us.

It is the little things that we can do to take control of life situations and events that are in our control.
