Journey

Just musing...  Life is a journey, full of experiences, some good, some bad, and some out right painful. There are friendships gained and some lost. Loved by some and hated by others. And some who just don't care. Who we are is a result of many who have "lent a hand" on the way. Parents, siblings, spouses, children, friends and total strangers. There were many who stood alongside during the peaks of life, some who stood by in the valleys, and other times, all alone, totally desolate.  By definition "Lend a hand" does not seem to have any permanence in it. "Lend" by definition is to allow to be borrowed for a time.

Yet there has been one who has been a constant by my side. Never letting go. Christ, my savior, saw me through some of the darkest times of my life. Patient was he when I did not know him. Merciful was he when I had fallen. Gave me hope when the road ahead looked bleak. Strengthened me when I thought I couldn't take it any more. Gave me rest when sleep deserted me. The Atheist would say, it is the human nature to rise above one's circumstances, the survival instinct. I know me and it ain't I !
