Thankful for Movement
Back in September, I hurt my leg and, shortly after that, my back went out, putting me down for a couple weeks. It was during this time in which I wasn’t able to take my daily walks or do much exercise, that I realized how important it is to be able to move. It doesn’t take long before the body begins to deteriorate if it’s not getting proper exercise. I’m not a very active person but apparently the little exercise I do on a regular basis is enough to keep my arms and legs moving to the degree that they need to without everything starting to hurt or refusing to move.
This has made me grateful that God has designed bodies to recover quickly. He thought of everything, didn’t He? He knows what we need and, if we do those things, our bodies will continue to function. If we refuse to eat right and exercise, our bodies will deteriorate since they’re not getting the things they need. With winter setting in, it will be harder to make myself get out and walk but I trust God to give me the strength to do so or else to give me creative ways to exercise indoors so that I’m taking care of His temple.
