running my race of life

this morning on my run i realized some things about life.  for one, if you always look at your feet you will only see yourself.  while it is important to look at where your feet are landing,...

 it is also important to see where they are taking you...

 and decide if that is okay with you.

 if you stop and take a break, when will you start up again?

 if you don't decide, the opportunities will pass you by.

while running i heard a life flight helicopter over head.  i am glad for the service they provide, but i am so sad whenever i see one.  i always say a prayer for the people affected by that flight.
if i am so focussed on my own feet, and the sound they are making when they hit the pavement, and how bad my muscles are burning and how long i've been running,...etc.  i could be so preoccupied by that and not notice the beauty around me and the struggles of others.
look up.  make sure the direction you are headed is okay with you..if not, change it, notice others and pray for and serve them, decide when you will do something and then do it.
i will live with intent.
