Getting In Shape
Getting in
shape, I thought, sounded like a good idea.
Afterall,
I'd been slacking and felt I didn't have much appeal.
"Take a Walk,"
my friends told me,
"and you'll
feel so much better".
"Walking every
day," they said,
"could make
you a real go-getter".
So with much
encouragement and a bit of hesitation,
I took a Walk
and began to build a strong dedication.
Not to myself
of a new exercise routine,
But to my
Savior and life with Him for all eternity.
You see, this
Walk I took was not of a physical nature.
It was a journey
with my Lord; my Creator.
I felt His
grace and saw His face through all the love and care
this community
called Emmaus came in great numbers to share.
They took
their time and gave God's talks
about priorities
and how to handle life.
Then they
led me to a beautiful service which is known as "candlelight".
The glow was
almost blinding. Spectacular and bright.
Some said
it looked like heaven,
and I think
maybe they were right.
Agape came
from everywhere.
On the table,
on my pillow, and even in my chair.
I made many
new friends and ate until I almost popped.
Got very little
sleep and felt like I could drop.
What an amazing
72 hours.
The time just
simply flew.
And I left
this Walk to Emmaus with one final thought,
"Christ is
counting on you."
