Fun Fitness

Walking is one sport that I thoroughly enjoy. As I was thinking of how long I have been walking, it has been about 17 years! Since I was pregnant with my first child. Walking is an easy sport and way to stay fit. Through those years, I have walked pregnant, with babies in strollers, around (and around) the yard. About two years ago my husband had back surgery and the doctors encouraged him to walk to help recover. He has been walking faithfully since. Then about a year ago, a walking party formed:

Here's the same bunch with me in it and husband with the camera!

Our little walking group does a 4 mile route on a country road and we enjoy each other's company which makes the walk go quickly. We try to do this several times a week when our schedules allow!

    You are so good. You had the picture on the blog by the time that I had breakfast. We look pretty good, especially you, if I say so myself. I love the time that we all spend together as much as the walk. It keeps us connected. I'll be there today. LOL Aunt Ro

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him.  Obeying God doesn’t have to be unattainable or impossible, but can be a joyful, beautiful journey as we go by step and follow Him.
