Take my hand and follow me,
There are things ahead for you to see.
Little wonders are all around,
And tender mercies to be found.
We’ll take our time, no need to run,
Breathe deep the air and feel the sun.
The grass is soft beneath our feet,
Sounds are soothing, the air is sweet.
Sometimes we’ll stop and just be still,
Our hearts will tell us God is real!
Small graces along our path appear,
They let us know that Heaven’s near.
So take my hand anew each day,
The walk is lovely and I know the way.
~Greg Olson
This is a beautiful poem; I love the peace I feel as I read it.
For probably two weeks, I have been tested and tried, and there were moments when my heart was broken, the tears flowed, and I could not walk any more.
There were moments when I felt alone. Abandoned. Forgotten. Rejected. Sad.
But I was not alone.
And that is what I learned.
My grandpa told me, "Don't forget to look for what the Lord is trying to teach you." And he was right. My perspective was changed and I was able to go to school each day with the attitude of, "I can do this! I will make it!"
And do you know what?
I did.
And you know what else?
It was worth it.
