Monday, September 1, 2008 - A walk in the woods (by Erin)

Remember, Lord, when my dad would take me in the woods for those long walks? Do you remember, Lord, how I would feel if I couldn’t see him any more? My dad never left me alone in those woods; I simply was too slow to keep up with him!

Lord, you take me on long walks in the woods. When I can’t see you, you know how I feel! Lord, you never leave me alone in the woods! Even though I am going in the right direction, don’t let me slow down!

In the woods, Lord, there are slippery rocks…

In the woods, there are snakes…

In the woods, Lord, there are paths that lead to destruction…

All these things make me afraid…

If I stumble on the rocks, you, Lord, pick me up;

If the snake comes to bite me, you kill it;

If I go down the wrong path, you find me and bring me back again!

Many things scare me in the woods, but you are here and every thing will be alright!

Take me on long walks in the woods!
