I realized today that dancing around Chuck's 50 ft oxygen hose is a lot like playing Chinese Jump Rope. Put your foot in, pull your foot out, and crisscross without getting tangled. Because of my back condition, I need to be so careful not to trip or get caught in his hose during the morning hours. Chuck has no idea of how the hose responds when he pulls it or uses a whipping motion to free the hose if it gets caught on the baseboards.
I'm a slow learner because I just realized today, that, when possible, I need to walk on the outside of the hose and not in the space created by the hose. I also realized that my walk with the Lord is a lot like walking around Chuck's hoses. When I do things my way, the path is difficult, but with Jesus, the path is clear.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.
Linda
