Exercise

One of my biggest mountains is finding the time to exercise. I have always been a very active person, however the past few years my energy level doesn't want to be consistent. Today, I am writing to encourage myself.

I'm not writing about weight loss. I'm writing about staying active and exercising. Activity is very important to keep the body working in the way God created. When the body does not burn calories and the lymphatic system doesn't function as it should, weight gain happens and we have a tendency to get sick--which disables us to go about our work.

I believe God made us to work. Proverbs speaks plainly about the value of hard work. As a matter of fact, 2 Thessalonians 3:10 says For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat."

So today I'm making a pledge to myself...I will get back on my bike. I will walk everyday. I will find something I enjoy and make time for myself.

My days are very full but somehow--just like God finds time for me to read the Word--the time for exercise will come.


FARM UPDATE
By the way, the garden is doing very well; the tomato plants are growing although I had to pull off yellow leaves yesterday. This is my first tomato plants to live so...I'm not so sure this is normal. Anyone know?

My three youngest hens, white Easter egg layers are not mixing well with the ten three month old pullets. Everytime I have them out with the other "in betweens" they are attacked. I'm not sure what is going to happen and if they will ever be accepted. I'm praying they will get along. I'm currently gathering 4 or 5 eggs per day.

The turkey, Theopholis, attacked my alpha rooster Big Red (seen above in photo taken last fall with daughter Emma). He stomped on his left foot and he's limped for two weeks. He's just now back on it but he's gingerly stepping. I'm having to keep them completely separate. Theo stands in front of the pen and stomps his feet at Big Red. It is a sight to see. I had no idea turkeys fight in this way...stomping. It seems effective?

We Sea Cadets will be away for drill weekend so I will pick back up next week with the blog. Have a great weekend and stay safe.

Psalm 19:14
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
