The geese are making noise.
A few trees have begun their colorful transformation.
The nights have cooled and we found ourselves wrapped in blankets yesterday.
A reminder that winter is fast approaching.
Another fall.
Another without my son.
Our family still reels at the thought of life without Elijah.
Every fiber of our being longs for his presence.
We step forward.
We are seeking and reaching for the path God wants us to take.
Each day I strive to live fully.
The unknowns rise before me; the tempest at large.
This morning I can feel the heaviness.
The weight of missing, great.
We hold hands around the dinner table and there is a space.
Cedric needs to reach to hold his fathers hand.
The place where Elijah sat; empty.
It is in the reaching that I am struck.
We are always reaching.
Reaching for better.
Striving to be the best we can be.
When a heavenly perspective is there, there is purpose.
His ways higher.
Unknown to us.
A path.
Direction.
Our reaching, is to seek Christ.
To know the fullness of Him.
I do not understand all that continues to transpire.
This world is spiraling at chaotic proportions.
The condition of man so evident in happenings around us.
Yet all of these situations have passed through the fingers of God.
We need to stay the course.
Speak truth.
Speak love.
Trust.
As we live; reach.
Reach for the Savior's plan.
Keep in the Ancient Word.
Pray.
As you reach today; in all you do.
May the reach be for Christ.
He will guide all your steps.
You may not be able to see through.
But know, He is there.
Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them,
for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
