First, walking is good for a person's health as well as their state of mind. And since I need all the good health I can get and a better state of mind, because I seem to be losing mine more frequently these days...(I wonder what state my mind is in these days - perhaps sunny Florida or cold and windy Chicago?). I'll go looking for it again just as soon as I finish this post. LOL!
Well, anyhow, my son and I have started walking together each morning and it is such a tremendous blessing to do so. And as we walk and talk together I also talk with my Heavenly Father and Savior; praying for my son or other people I know who have needs, so it is a real "triple play" in that I get the health benefit of walking, the opportunity to spend quality time with my son, and time with my God and Savior. I love him and I love walking with him. And I also enjoy the time I get to spend in our great and glorious outdoors of Northeastern PA with God.
And to think just a few short years ago we were estranged - that is, our Father-Son relationship was broken...and I mean a totally shattered kind of broken. And that was my fault. I was to blame and caused the pain that led to our relationship being broken. However, God miraculously and wonderfully restored our relationship and it just could not get any better between us than it is right now. And it's all because of God and his grace and the transforming, healing power of forgiveness and love.
God IS good and worthy to be praised.
Wishing you a blessed day,
Humbled by HIS great love,
Harold
