Jan. 20, 2007 - Walking and Talking
I am so enjoying my energy coming back from my last surgery. This one was a hard one. I think with my chemo and three surgeries, I think that I never fully came back with a full energy level.
I am so enjoying fully schooling my kids each day (we aren’t needed many days off due to health issues). We start our days with a morning walk.
We get such a special time to talk about the things on the kids minds. It is so special to hear their hearts when we are away from home. We take a time to do memory work for a Sunday school skit, or for school review or even just to hear their ideas. I love to spend time and help them think come up with life plans and goals. They are so enjoyable and fun to be around. I love being with my kids. It is such a nice way to start our days, even if our dog misbehaves. We have funny jokes we see our favorite neighbor an elder from our church that lives a couple of blocks away. It is a time to pray for our youth pastor and his family as we pass their home each day. (He has some health issues right now that need prayer and a huge ministry to take care for and a young family-they need a lot of prayer)
Our walks are a very special time to talk and get a little exercise. What a joy to start our day-but I must admit that I do get my walking clothes on as I step out of bed so that I don’t change my mind-some mornings have been so cold lately I would rather stay home. But my kids are so fun to talk to I am loving our walks.
