As my daily devotion time, I'm going to write, instead of read someone else's, daily miracles. My hope is, that by doing this, I will enrich my journey and awareness of God in the little things in my life and also encourage others to do the same. I encourage you to share your comments and stories of things that you encounter along your journey.
Blessings,
Jennifer

Workout

I feel so much better when I work out.  I've suffered from headaches all of my life- several different kinds.  I've discovered the causes of a couple.  But, I have also realized that exercising helps avoid and relieve them.  But, somehow, once I get out of the habit, it's hard to get back into it- even though I know it's best for me.
I had been out of the gym for quite awhile.
This Christmas, I was struggling with what to get someone.  She's the daughter I never had and she and her dad were spending Christmas with us.  Then, it came to me.  I had been concerned with her frequent knee issues and complaints when doing much walking.  So, to give her more confidence and hopefully help her issues, I decided to giver her a membership for Christmas.
Knowing nothing about working out, it was obvious it was something I had to show her.  So, not only was it a gift of health, but a gift of time.  Those are the best kinds of gifts as far as I'm concerned.
This is week two.  And, I am quickly realizing that this was a gift to me as much as it was a gift to her.  2 weeks in and we're still going strong.  The more we go, the more fun it is.  And, since I know she is watching me and looking to me for guidance, I know I can't quit this time.  And, I think she is thinking the same thing.  It's awesome to have people in your life who make you want to be a better person.  She is one of those people.
So, where was God today? He was there when we were working out.  And, He knew this was a Christmas gift we both needed.
Blessings,
Jennifer
