Today I wake with the desire to run!

The sun is shining and everything is peaceful for a moment.

Soon the wind picks up and the rain pelts us with hail!

 

 

Does anyone appreciate my lemon tree? It is soon time to bring it in the house, we did cover it once this Autumn along with a few other plants. Thankfully we have not had a need to turn the heat on yet.

I start looking at the Weather App for a good time to run, there might be a break in the rain  and thunderstorms around 5-7 P.M.

It is one of those days it would feel good to sit under a blanket and watch TV. Looking out the window I see the mail-lady and decide to go check out the flowers. This is the beautiful sunshine as I walk to the mailbox in my slippers. My slippers get wet!

Deciding to fight the desire to stay under the covers I choose to walk the dogs. The sun is shining, perfect timing. Hoping Sam will run, I put on my old running shoes. It might be the only run I get. I don’t want to get my good running shoes wet.

We run the half mile around the block. Sam is done so I pick up Charlie. It starts to rain before I step outside again, so I grab my umbrella.

We walk at good pace for our elder dog Charlie and I am staying dry until…!

About 3/4 around the block the storm picks up! I hold my umbrella with both hands to keep it from being ripped apart! The rain is pelting us and there might be ice in the mix!

The wind picks up and almost blows me over!

I am trying to hurry home when I have a thought, “take vehicle!”

The thought drops into my mind to drive to the cemetery, giving me a safe place if it storms again.

I end up running for 2 miles and never getting rained on, but when I arrive home and enter the house the rain begins again!

 

The thought that drops into my mind is from God.

I have had enough experiences to recognize a God thought to differentiate it from my thoughts or evil thoughts. God Thoughts are meant to be obeyed for my best life.

The clouds are fascinating as they go from stormy to sunny and back again.

God Bless each of you with safety in your day! Amen!

GOD IS SO VERY GOOD!
