I was once nimble, a fleet of foot, and because of our farm’s terrain with steep and rocky hills, very, very good at climbing.
Alas, now a hack, all that is in the past.
I remind myself of a draft horse these days, for that is what I am like. I’m slow but dependable and will get there in the end.
I won’t be put off by distractions, like a draft horse that goes from one place to another and the completer and finisher of tasks. It may take a little while to complete, but those tasks will get done.
I’ve often thought draft horses are reflective, accepting of people and focused on endpoints rather than distractions.
I hope that is me.
Tranquillo Henry, sei tu, l’uomo.
I am not a fan of my personal chronological enhancement.
You are one between past, present and future. You must not be afraid of anything, if God is with you. As you have accepted the good times, you must also accept the bad ones… But remember that Jesus suffered more than us, to save us! We cannot abandon everything like this, without committing ourselves too, with love.
I appreciate your thoughts and your deep spiritual commitment to what you see as right and good Mirelle. I was once a staunch follower of religion but was disenchanted by an experience suggesting my church was hollow and committed to a path other than the one believers were encouraged to follow. That left me high and dry.
Henry
