Wonderful run this morning! Extremely fitting that Mandisa's Stronger came on as the last song of the run (which is entirely an uphill stretch). Made me reflect on all that we do which makes us stronger. I am 44 years young and I remember as a teenager thinking about how old people in their 40's were. Boy, was I wrong. By pursuing a lifestyle which makes us stronger (stronger in mind and body and also spiritually) we are creating a lifestyle which will create in us a greater ability to endure and therefore a greater ability to encourage others and push them to meet their goals and become stronger as well. Those we encourage could be our own family members, or complete strangers. It is only dependent upon the opportunity. The main point is that we have strive to become the strongest we can be (physically, mentally, and spiritually) in order to build stronger community/families.
