Hard to Run

This morning, after a day when the news is filled with pain and suffering, I am thankful for the pain in my hip and the ache in my leg. Even though they are crooked I have hip joints. I have legs! Even though I have never run in a race, let alone a marathon, I can run across the church grass in my wobbly way and be happy for the sting in my muscles. I choose to turn to thankfulness and prayer. 
I am convinced that nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8
