Wheels in life
It’s turning again, this wheel we live in. People we love are coming and going, lives ending and beginning. Our path gets muddied yet dries further on down the way. Hormones, feelings, memories and opinions all drive us to walk each step of the way, and they work to do two things. On the one hand they can make us falter. Do we turn this way or that, listening to the inner turmoil that would trip us up? They become a rock in the midst of the walk that keeps us from moving quickly away from a dip in the path, making it harder to see just the way the road bends. They steal our joy, robbing us of the smile lines we treasure in eighty years of living.
But they can also bring about a state of grace, giving us hope, courage, and strength to weather the road. I’ve lost most of my family to time and age. I count on the ones I have left for the joy Life brings. Why do we wonder where we sit in the hierarchy of family? Why do we muddy our paths with feelings that take away from the walk. I love my family, each has their own place that cannot be taken over by another. To move one would upset the balance of the rest. The Best we can do is hope to seethecircle,add more to it. Moving over is just to allow another one to be brought in, more love to connect us, the bigger the wheel the stronger we get, not more thinner and more hammered down.
Life changes, we cannot grieve too long over the those bumps, but close the circle, and make it move us to where the future takes us. Come on along!

At least my faith in the reason of men, anyway. My hero, Aslan, comes again in the Summer of this year. Wilder, stronger, so much more the Saviour I know so well, we will be there to witness the strength of things hidden by the prose kind of meant for children. My Aslan, the true representation of The One Who Saved me, and He WHO saves me still will rip upon the theatre screen in all of His fiercest Wonder! And all this from the trailer…
Hoowah! to Mr C.S. Lewis and all of we who KNOW that our humanity has been redeemed, all of our humanity. Even the ones who champion golden devices, or seek to disillusion children all fall under the grace of our Aslanesque Saviour and are cared for by The Father who loves us beyond measure.
That’s all…wanted to remind you to NEVER give up hope…
