(Wednesday, February 21, 2024) – A morning walk while on vacation in Florida in February is much different than a morning walk in Minnesota. The morning walk in Florida is the best. A winter coat, winter hat, and gloves are not needed. Worrying over the frigid cold morning air causing pain to your lungs when you breathe is not necessary. Worrying over slipping and falling on the ice/snow covering the sidewalk is not necessary.
The morning sunshine streams through the palm trees and other trees that line the sidewalk and warms my face.
A canopy of palm trees and other trees with Spanish moss create a visual treat for my eyes. The many birds sing their morning songs in a beautiful serenade to my ears.
The foliage and lush greenery along my path are an aromatic treat. The morning walk feeds my soul, it fills me with peace, joy, and gratitude for such wonderful and beautiful things.
The best morning walk is perfect for preparing for the day ahead. Praying for our children and grandchildren. Praying for wisdom, courage, and guidance for all that will come to pass on this day (both anticipated and those things that are not anticipated). The best morning walk allows me to remember Colossians 3:12, “…to dress in the wardrobe that God picked out for you; compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, and discipline…”, and my heart is filled with joy as I endeavor to dress in these clothes on this day!
