This morning, I stepped out of my front door for my morning run–and the heat and humidity took my breath away, even at 8 am!  But, I put on my running shoes which are waterproof non slip shoes and started walking anyway.  And as I walked, a cool breeze started to blow.  I don’t know where a cool breeze is coming from in central Texas today, but that breeze made my task seem easier!  The run was just as hard, but that cool breeze was refreshing and gave me a little bit of extra strength.

I started thinking that God is like that cool breeze in my life.  Yes, there are tough things.  Hard things that I have to walk through.  Days it feels like I’m just taking it one step at a time.  But with God, those hard things are just a little bit easier to handle.  I still have to go through them, just like I had to make it to the end of my run, but God is the cool breeze that allows me to breathe easier and just enjoy the journey.

So, today, I am thankful for cool breezes on hot, humid July mornings and for God’s refreshing in my life.

Have a great day!
