We're at the Lake of the Ozarks-perfect weather, beautiful place. What a blessing to be here with the family-DH, 3 sons (minus our girls, their spouses, and our granddaughter)!
As often is the case, I was compelled to get out of bed this morning and run. I wanted to be lazy, I really did-to just lie in bed and think and pray, drift in and out-but I couldn't do it. Not knowing the time, but that the sun was up, I quietly rolled out of bed, slipped into my running clothes, and stepped outside into the coolness of early morning.
Walking up a steep hill, I began my run at the top. What a view! Cloudless bright blue skies. Tall green oaks and elms. A deer on the roadway. Shetland ponies in an emerald pasture. Two camels--yes, two camels. I ran about 1.5 miles, until the gentle slopes became harsh, forcing me to turn back . A good run-I'm eager to go again tomorrow.
Perhaps a lake swim this afternoon.
Quiet time on the patio-refocused on the Lord and His word. Reviewed 2 Timothy.
Fed the family-eggs, english muffins, cereal, fruit. Finished a book.
Now down to the dock.
The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork. Ps. 19:1

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you all are having some time away! Enjoy your vacation. The run sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh, that post just drew my mind to the Lord and how His glory is displayed all around us. This is one reason I love running. It sounds like you are having a wonderful time.
