When my friend was over last week, she told me how she and her husband would wake up early and hike Lone Pine from their backyard.
“From your backyard!?!?!?” I exclaimed!
Naturally, I had to invite myself over to do the same. Up at 5:15am, I snapped a shot of our backyard sunrise before throwing on some clothes and driving to her place. Immediately, I turned the radio off in the car. The quiet of the morning was too serene to be interrupted.
Throughout the horizon, lightning flashed. I was so excited! Spring thunderstorms are my favorite. It never did storm, but it was spectacular. I passed a herd of elk, and smiled big. God, you are so amazing!
We had a wonderful hike! I realized that although I run every day, hiking legs use totally different muscles. Ah, but it felt so good.
“How can I pray for you?” my friend asked before I left. And that is how you know your friend is a keeper! I am so grateful for her heart for the Lord and for people and for her prayers for me! I can’t think of better way to start the day!
I was going to end there, but I have to say one more thing for the memory books… when I walked back in the house, the boys were sitting at the counter with eggs and a raspberry white chocolate muffin and a big glass of milk, courtesy of their big sister. “Mom, I made the boys breakfast!” Sierra exclaimed. And, that made my whole day!
