Ten Months Ago

Ten Months ago I learned that my sister had cancer. Today we hiked two hours in the Ozark hills. The path was steep, much steeper than either of us expected. We had each other to encourage the other along. We knew when we took off our shoes to cross the creek we were in for an exciting hike. The trail got tougher and tougher but with breaks in between, and pleasant conversation, we made it. Ten months ago life seemed a lot like our hike today, unknown, steep, tough, scary but we were reminded, just as today that God is gracious and good. At the end of the hike, I said "THANK YOU JESUS" and I meant it.
