Mark 2:23-28

One sabbath day, Jesus happened to be taking a walk through the cornfields, and his disciples began to pick ears of corn as they went along.

In the past several days I have missed doing my favorite thing—- going for a run. It is terribly cold out there and my favorite route is covered up with mounds of snow. I have often said that February is my most difficult month because I cannot be outside but it seems my February has come a wee bit early this year.

Jesus went for a walk. We all need to find an activity that helps clear our minds. As part of your spiritual life daily activities are super important. So if you are still able to move, I invite you to see it as a form of prayer. If you cannot move maybe you can recapture reading a book.

Let us pray

“Gracious God through your goodness you have granted this spiritual being that is me a beautiful body. I thank you for the gift of it. Grant me the grace and wisdom to take good care of myself. Grant me the will and power to move and dance, to play and pray using the body. These things I ask through Christ Our Lord. Amen”

Take care of yourself!!!
