Saturday Morning Run And A Promise

I just got back from a fairly easy 6 mile run with Tony and Ben. We start out early (6:30AM) and with the sun rising, hit the trails.

Dawn is simply the best time of day.

We kept a good pace (just about 8 minute miles). The grass was covered in dew; the trees were blooming; birds were singing.

Ben made an observation that Spring is evidence of God's promise. The world comes back to life--just as God planned it. Tony and I agreed, the abundance of that promise all around us.

After the run, we stretched and prayed before heading home.

It's hard--really hard--getting up early on Saturdays, but I never regret it. I think of all the benefits of an early start: The whole day is before me and I've got a good work out in. I've spent time with friends, and I've been reminded that God always fulfills his promises. Now, if only every day could begin this way.

This touches home for the guy that wants to sleep late every Saturday. I feel bad if I wake up before noon, since I wasted my lazy day. :)
