The goal today:run 4 miles.

To reach my goal today depends on God giving me the ability to move. Waking up my body complains about moving.

Body says, “Do you know how hard compact ground is? Untouched by any shovel for 8 years! Tall grass killing the flowers!”

My body made it to the couch and sat for many hours, even falling asleep again, before making breakfast. Watching the rain water the thirsty ground and check the radar believing and asking God for dry weather to run.

After breakfast Wisdom says, “Eat the raspberries and ice cream before running.”

This gives my body energy to walk and dress for running. The goal is 8:00 P.M. Laying down to rest before running, and guess what? Rain!

All ready to go, the rain stops, and out the door I go believing God for the ability to run. Thankful for a beautiful sky to take pictures, giving me a minute to rest.

The shoveling made it’s self known as the muscles rebel at being called into service BUT I DO RUN.

It isn’t a fast, but it is running with just a little walking.

           God is very good. I end up running two miles at the cemetery then going home to rest a bit and drinking water before picking up Sam! We go for a two mile run to the gas station which hasn’t been done for a year or more?

The temperature is 75 degrees with dew points at 73 degrees.  I am able to ring out my clothes when I get home.

This is the job I tackled Friday!

I ended up coming up from the bottom to shovel through the dirt and not cut the tulip bulbs. The dirt comes out in chunks as if it were cement.

I sit on the pillow and pound the shovel into the wall of dirt before me, making sure I’m below the bulbs. The bulbs drop into my hands after being set free from their prison.

The end of the night just as the sun begins setting the last big weeds come out even a whole tuber.

Maybe Sunday the ground can be prepared to receive flowers again!

GOD IS SO VERY GOOD! THANK YOU JESUS! AMEN!
