Dad and I just got in from day 4 of our Couch to 5K training . . . boy, he really pushes me. I thought I'd surely die! This training is NOT easy for me, but it's worth it!!
I wanted to share with you from the Bible Study that I have been doing . . . last night, I read about the kindred spirit that Mary and Elisabeth shared. When the angel spoke to Mary, telling her that she was going to have baby Jesus, Mary went and told Elisabeth, who was elderly, yet 6 months pregnant with John, these two women shared such a bond. I will share the scriptures below:
Luke 1: 40 - 45
At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea,40 where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42 In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! 43 But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
Those verses really touch my heart, especially when Elizabeth said, "why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?" Elizabeth was pregnant too, both women were expecting, but the difference was, Mary wasn't just caring a baby, she was carrying her Lord. Wow!
It brings me to think of some of the Godly women that have been placed in my life. I am so blessed to have that kindred spirit with these women.
I am getting ready to go to work. . . here's my menu for today:
B - cheerios, organic milk, raw banana
L - organic blue corn chips, raw salsa, raw avacado
S- egg beaters, lean ham, ww toast, and a raw mango
God Bless you all today!!
