Working Through Difficulties

My sunburn kept me indoors for the last couple of days, but if I want to make my 5 day a week exercise goal, I had to do something. The grandkids wanted to go for a walk (like the good old days when they lived here). I waited until the sun lowered in the sky a bit, put on a sleeveless, high-neck shirt (my neck is the most sunburned), and tucked a cloth under the brim of my hat to protect the top of my ears.

It would have been easy to say I couldn't go, but my goal prodded me to come up with a solution. One foot in front of the other, one day at a time, overcoming one more excuse.

"No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it" (I Cor. 10:13).
