A young lady in our neighborhood had a positive idea recently that can help keep your neighborhood safe and clean, plus may even help you drop a few pounds walking.
She gave away some reach grabbers and mini waste bags to those neighbors who wanted them, which I did.
I walk regularly anyway, but now when I go walking around the neighborhood, I just "walk 'n grab"! I think of Matthew 5:16:
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."
A "walk 'n grab" is great because:
Walkers can pick up litter and help keep their neighborhoods clean
They can help keep their neighborhoods safe as they look for any suspicious activity
The grabber can double as a walking stick to help keep stray dogs away
Me and my grabber.
Walkers can get healthier and maybe even lose pounds as they walk consistently (i recommend 5 days a week, 30 minutes minimum)
Walkers can make their neighborhoods more livable and perhaps increase property values through improving the neighborhood's appearance
I hope you'll join me through starting your own 'Walk 'n grab'.
Be blessed in health, healing and wholeness,

Kimberly Taylor is the founder of Take Back Your Temple, a Christ-centered ministry that helps Christian women experience freedom from emotional eating through Biblical wisdom.
After years of struggling with emotional eating and reaching 240 pounds, Kimberly lost more than 85 pounds and has maintained that loss for over 20 years. More importantly, she experienced lasting change as Scripture renewed her thinking and taught her to steward her body with wisdom rather than shame, pressure, or force.
Today, Kimberly helps women understand what emotional eating may be revealing, respond with Biblical truth and Spirit-led wisdom, and develop steady patterns of peace, freedom, and faithful stewardship.
Her work has been featured in Prevention Magazine, Charisma Magazine, and on CBN’s The 700 Club.
