"WALKING"
 
            Since I have been unable to put any weight on my left leg I have become acutely aware of what a blessing it is to walk.  My hope, of course, is to be walking again by August.  At least I hope to be walking then even if I am limited.  The simplest tasks become much more difficult and time consuming.  There are a lot of things I did routinely that have now become impossible without help.  I am so thankful that Jan is here to care for me.  I have learned a lot about patience and being grateful for what used to be the smallest of blessings.  My injuries have been good for those educational experiences.

            My thoughts went to several Bible passages beginning with Jeremiah 10:23 I know, O LORD, that the way of man is not in himself, that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.

            Next was a passage that says we must agree if we are going to walk together.  Of course, Jesus, who personifies truth directs the way and I must do the agreeing in my walk with him.  Amos 3:3 “Do two walk together, unless they have agreed to meet?”

            Even though I cannot walk without the help of a walker or scooter, I am walking with Lord and Savior spiritually as many Bible texts indicate.  These texts are all helpful in my walk.

            I Peter 2:20 For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. 21For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.

            Colossians 2:6Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, 7rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.

CRESTFALLEN - sad.  Do you remember why the rich ruler was crestfallen?  See Luke 18:22-25.

Come as you are and grow with us!
