Change and strength
October 25, 2021
A friend reminded me of a moment, new in my widow life, that we shared on a lake. As she was leaving, it was growing dark, the sun behind us, I was kayaking alone out into the dusk. Her words: Your silhouette brought to my mind how strong you looked in that fragile vessel ,with the sheer confidence , that the Lords hands were on those oars and you embracing Him as you paddled forward in confidence.’
I knew around the next darkening bend was a cove with sunlight still shining. I was on my way into a bit of light.
My friend, your struggle may seem like dark enfolding you. Your faith paddling forward will bring you to that place. And you’ll be stronger for the adventure.
