Nature Walk With My Hubby And God

"Me thinks that the moment my legs begin to move, my thoughts begin to flow." ~Henry David Thoreau

A couple of Sundays ago, after listening to a very encouraging message from Joel Osteen, I decided to just go for it and take a walk, in spite of the physical pain I was feeling. Joel used God's Words in the Bible to encourage my soul. I realized after listening to him speak, that even though I could not run, jog, or even walk very fast, I could still walk. And even if I walked very slowly and with a slight limp, that was still okay!

"He who limps is still walking." ~Stanislaw J. Lec

So after hearing Joel's encouraging message, my sweet hubby took me for a nature walk at one of our favorite spots in Crazyville. I love the fall weather so much too! It was overcast and breezy, so needless to say, I was in heaven. (I should probably mention that this is the first outdoor walk that I have taken since before I had my back surgery.)

Sigh.

"An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day." ~Henry David Thoreau

So, if you would like to, come and join me, my sweet hubby, and God on our nature walk.

This next picture I took for my bloggy friend, Gina, as we pulled up into the park. She lives in California, and she mentioned to me once that she would love to see the fall colors. In this picture you can see the color changes beginning.
