Wyoming Shiras Moose

 

 

I took this picture in Wyoming last year.

I was thrilled when I saw the bull approaching. He was over six feet at the shoulder and pushing 1000 pounds. It was exhilarating to see him walk so near. I was still electrified as he faded into the forest. 

I wasn't upset because our encounter was brief; I was overjoyed that it happened at all. What's to complain about when you've had a once-in-a-lifetime-experience? 

Asked if all I got from the experience was this picture of the south-end of a north-bound moose, I answered that I'm grateful to have seen the beast at all. Rather than complaining because life's wonderful experiences seem so brief and fleeting, I intend to give thanks for them.

May GOD give us the grace we need to joyfully live within the limits HE has set, as we cherish each sacred moment. 

Titus 2:12b  -   Grace teaches us to live in the present age in a wise, self-controlled, upright and just way.

Picture the way forward.

Think it'll be so easy we won't need to watch our step?
Think we won't need to help each other forward?  

Think again. 

Making progress in treacherous circumstances can be difficult, so here's a little advice.

• Stay close. Hold the babies and bring them along.
• Help when you can, as you can, whomever you can.
• Adjust your speed as wisdom dictates.
• Expect progress. 
• Keep doing the next right thing. 

I'm looking forward to what's ahead. And I'm glad we're on the journey... together. 

 

Matthew 7:14  -  The road is narrow, difficult and hard that leads to true life.
