If you have ever flown on a commercial air line, you probably remember how, just before take off the flight attendant stood in the aisle and reviewed the safety instruction, demonstrated how to fasten a seat belt, how to use an oxygen mask etc.... In the event that the oxygen level in the main cabin becomes unstable, oxygen masks will drop in front of every passenger. Passengers are instructed to make sure their masks are on first before assisting other passengers or children. Drawing from that parallel, our ministry is as a passenger to take care of our physical & spiritual bodies so we can minister to one another. I draw on this description because if we are not taking care of ourselves so to speak then we will not have the strength to take care of our spouses or other care giving events in life.
