I am continuing with 31 Days of Five Minute Free Writes at http://www.fiveminutefriday.com
where I’m writing for five minutes on a prompt each day in October. I’d love for you to follow along with me on this journey or better yet, join in!
Time starts now!
“If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.” Psalm 139:9-10 (NIV)
There’s a line in the song “Sound a Dream Makes” by Gordon Mote that says: “Just when you think a quiet house is where the story ends, your baby has a baby and the dream begins again.” It’s so true! I am now a “MiMi” and I love every minute of it…well, almost every minute. It’s hard to watch the bumps and bruises, the needed discipline, learning the hard way, and the disappointments all over again. I just want to hold my grandsons’ hands to keep them safe and let them know I’m always here when they need me!
Do you know something? That’s what God wants us to know about Him too! No matter where we are or what we’re going through, we can find comfort in the fact that we’re not alone. Bumps and bruises? You bet! Disappointments? Part of life for sure. But, as much as I cherish my precious grandchildren (and I do); God treasures each one of us so much more!
Feeling those little hands cradled in mine causes my heart to overflow with love and I don’t want to let them go. Unfortunately, as much as I want to, I can’t be with my grandchildren every step of the way; but I know someone who can. God is waiting for them (and you and I) to reach out and hold tightly to His hand that will “guide”, “hold fast”, and with unending love never let us go.
Time’s up!
