On school days, i push E in a pram. It's easy going to school due to the downhill journey- the pram practically pulls me. However, the return journey is TOUGH. As he grows, i can't carry him for long as i used to be able to. The pram helps but to push both the pram and E up the hill to get home- it makes my heart pound so hard and my lungs feel emptied of air. I have to tell E to stop talking to me because i am not sure if i can make it home. 😵
Makes me think of what i have been reading in a book recently:
"The righteousness God seeks is a persistent righteousness, a commitment to continue making the right decision even when, perhaps hourly, you feel being pulled in the opposite direction. Holiness is far more than an inclination toward occasional acts of kindness and charity; it is a commitment to persistently surrender to God." (Gary Thomas, Sacred Marriage)
It's a tough call, but we just have to keep walking... keep trying... and eventually make it home. 👣
