Can't quite relate to Mr. Fit Smiley Tan Man running in shades! Not this mom. That's just great he has the time to run along the beautiful mountain trail enjoying the picture-perfect weather. Wouldn't we all?
Where are his kids? At home driving mom bonkers? Or is this happy man single? Many questions. I know - it's just a picture. The retreat is about the words, God's words. But still I wonder how very hard it is for a mom with one kid or more to feel her body is a temple of the Holy Spirit after the child is born. I know we should, but I wonder if most of us do. It is definitely "temple-like" when we are pregnant though, don't you think?
I know a woman who works out at the local gym after her children are asleep at around 10:00 to 11:00 every night. This is "her" time. I never had "her" time. I never took it. I should have.
Maybe today we both can find some time to do something smart for our bodies realizing they are gifts from God. Something as simple as throwing away whatever's left in the Easter baskets, maybe?
