48 - Walking

Fifteen minutes before church starts and we are making our way toward the door. It creaks behind us and we are outside in the shadow of our house. The air is a little brisk, but comfortable in a way. Stepping out into the sun is exhilarating. The sudden rise in temperature is both welcome and needed. A cool breeze is blowing and we feel as though church should be held outside as well. There are four of us trekking down the road about a quarter mile to the church. Step after step I think less about being on time and more and more about the beautiful scenery that surrounds us. I feel as though I have been cooped up indoors for the last several months. Right now, however, the air seems sweeter than it has been. I am grateful for my feet that can carry me to Church on this beautiful morning.
