JUST ENOUGH TO LIGHT THE PATH BEFORE MY FEET
A few weeks ago I re-posted a story entitled “Please, No / Please Know.” In it, I described our struggle of the soul to come to terms with the passing of our son.
A thoughtful and kind follower of Mitchell’s Journey asked: “Have you ever received an answer? Do you “know”?
This was my response:
“What a fair question. Yes, I have received an answer. Many, in fact. I "know." There are still moments of darkness and deep sorrow. Yet, when I look heavenward ... when I connect the tender mercies I've seen, they display like heavenly constellations that point the way ... just enough to light the path before my feet. I know it like a compass knows the north and south poles. I cannot see it, but I can feel its influence. Still, my journey through the wilderness of grief requires that I trust that compass and follow where it leads. I cannot see that far ahead of me. I must still walk by faith. Yet, I know. I absolutely know.”
I know.
