Step by Step

I was several steps behind a family on the staircase at Davis-Kidd in Green Hills Mall when I heard one of the three children begin screaming, "I can't see Mommy! I can't see Mommy!"

Immediately the father picked up the smallest girl and lifted her so she could get a glimpse of her mother, who was ahead of the pack with the other two young ones. The screaming stopped, the tears were wiped away, and the family continued toward the door.

It made me think about how often we have to keep going when we can't see very far in front of us. We may not be able to make out the destination, or the goal, or even the next step. And yet we keep going, putting one foot in front of the other.
