Take A Breath.....Turn Around

August 28, 2022

As I stand on the road of August 28, 2022 and look back at the miles I’ve just walked through this life......past the pain of watching someone I love dwindle.....past the Grief of Death....and past the near drowning from a flood....and stop, take a breath, turn around....and see the road behind me and all the life experiences that are now in my rearview mirror, its only then I can see my Rescue....my Redemption....and the Miracles that have been placed on my path.  

It’s this “looking back” that allows me to see with clarity my actual life and the beauty of the miles I have traveled.

Because the book of my life journey didn’t end with the pain, grief and near drowning.  These were mere chapters in a thick book...chapters that had a beginning and an ending.  Chapters that made me stronger....that built up my endurance muscles ......and brought me out of the dark woods and into the Light of a new chapter.

And I discover I’m still breathing....I still have more miles to travel...and I’m going to be okay.....because I’ve sneaked a peak at the last page and know how this story ends.

It’s only by traveling through these difficult chapters in our life that we now see with clarity where we once were blind....but now we see.

“Amazing grace!  How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me!  I once was lost, but now am found; was blind, but now I see.”
