Romans 12:1-2

So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. Romans 12:1-2

Counting My Blessings - Day 8

39. A morning walk - I have really missed these since starting work. This morning after Hubby and the boys left early for church, J and I set out! It was a beautiful day for a walk. I loved the warmth of the sunshine, but I also loved how cold my cheeks felt because of the breeze. It is a blessing to have such a wonderful place to walk, to have the ability to walk, and to have had TIME to walk! I did some much needed stretching for my back when I got home, got ready and made it to church on time. Once there I was amazed how that short time I took before coming prepared my heart for worship and today's message. Thank you God for meeting with me in creation and by your Spirit.

    I know exactly how you must have felt...it is almost a way of preparing ourselves for our time with Him.
