Take Care

We headed down the road for our early morning walk, stepping a little tentatively on the white-fringed leaves and glassy puddles. Frost picked out the bare branches and sparkled on the lacy webs. A hush prevailed.

We walked slower, more carefully, than usual, yet still, at the halfway point Mary slipped and nearly went down. Reluctantly, we turned back, not wanting to risk a broken wrist or ankle. The results of one misstep can take weeks or even months or years to rectify.

Some situations in life require care. A word blurted in frustration or anger can take weeks, months or even years to heal. Only in Christ can some words be healed.

Note to self.
