Walking lessons...

Walking this journey often resembles childhood.  Some seasons, we are held.  Sometimes, we crawl.  We fall frequently.  We find a way to stand again.  We take more steps.  We fall.  We hurt.  We grow tired. We weep.  We lie still and look upward for help. We are lifted up.  We walk again.  We stumble over unexpected obtacles.  We are restored. We bump into unnoticed boundaries. We learn.  We rest. We rise to our feet and step forward once more.  We rejoice.  We see a parent reaching for us.  We extend our arms...and run.  He lifts us, embraces us and carries us home.

We later realize that our Heavenly Father is with us...holding, guarding, protecting, watching, healing, restoring, reaching, rejoicing, meeting, lifting, embracing and carrying us Home. Thank You, God, for Your loving Presence.♥~thl
