Twice a week we get together at the gym and stretch and bend and twist and turn. I love it. We’re taking care of ourselves individually and as a group and I feel so good when I see these women and men who enjoy these sessions as much as I do. Even on the days when I’m feeling tired or it’s raining or I could easily drum up some other excuse I close my ears to the temptations to stay home and instead, I dress, drive, and dive right in to the agenda for that day. I come home with a sense of well being that I don’t experience when I miss our hour together. I am grateful today for a body that cooperates and a mind that will not give in to excuses. “The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body.” (1 Corinthians 6:20 The Message)
