A few weeks back, Brenda and I made what has become an annual fall trip to Panama City Beach to lead a Wellness Week with a bunch of Christian friends from MI, IN, TN, AL, TX and maybe a couple of other states. All these folks are single, except us.
They have a strong bond of unity and also meet every late spring at the same place. In fact, that's how we got to know them. We were down at the beach and noticed a group of people gathered together, who appeared to be holding a Bible devotional. Curious we drew closer and they invited us in. We discovered that day this super group of brothers and sisters in the Christ.
When they learned later that I was in the midst of co-Authoring Fit Over 50, they asked about me leading the Wellness Week, which we happily accepted.
We had about a dozen folks plus us, and the weather was a bit cooler than good ocean swimming requires, but we had a lot of fun. There is something great about Christians assembling to love one another and to spur one another on to love and good deeds.
We had devotions, presentations, and prayers. We ate together and ran/walked 3 miles together in the annual footrace. We walked and talked with each other and with the L^rd.
We look forward to next year's trip--L^rd willing. May G^d grant us all the health to do it again next year. We take the actions to be Well, but we count on the L^rd to do His perfect will in each of our lives.
Blessings,
