Carefully, I tucked each trouser leg into a long sock. I
didn’t look sophisticated. I didn’t care. I didn’t want a tick bite.
I thought I was safe. Then last night, a few hours after our
walk, I felt a sharp pain on my calf. A tiny tick somehow found its way through
the trousers, or up the leg, or whatever, and there he was, sucking my blood. I
tweezered him out, put on the TCP, and now pray there was no Lyme’s disease in
him.
We can take all sorts of precautions in life. But life
itself is risky. It’s worth taking the precautions, but then it’s worth taking
the risks. Jesus came to give us life to the full. He doesn’t want us to stress
out, nor to play it safe.
Have a great day.
