Taking Those Final Steps...

Today is one of those pins-and-needles days for me. My youngest son has an interview this afternoon at the medical school he most wants to attend, and I'm focused on that to the extent that I can post about nothing else. Of course, I am hoping and praying that he will be able to overcome whatever nerves he must be feeling and put his very best foot forward. (I may be prejudiced, but it's my considered opinion that his best foot is a really good one!)

Needless to say, I will spend my morning and much of the afternoon sending good thoughts and many prayers his way. I'd be deeply grateful to anyone who'd like to join me.

Faith moves our feet along each path;

hope lightens every day.

Love nurtures what the heart desires,

and courage clears the way.

But ere we see our journey's end,

before we reach that final bend,

life puts us squarely in our place

and teaches us about God's grace.

No battle fought, no victory won,

no paltry prize or grand

is ever ours to claim.

Each gift is given by His hand.

It's all in His hands now. And I, for one, find that very comforting.
