One Step After Another

It is windy today in part of South Texas. We’re having wind gusts up to 23 mph (37 kph). When I went for a walk this evening I felt like I could make the US Olympic team. I was picking them and laying them down. It was great until . . . I had to turn around head back home. At that moment I realized I had a hefty tailwind on the first half of my walk. On the way home I’d walk into the teeth of the wind. I thought it’s a look like life. Sometimes we got a tailwind and everything is going our way. We feel as if we’re invincible. Until …. the wind is tossing a gale at us. Whether we have the wind at our back or it’s blowing in our face, we have one choice, keep walking, never quit, one step after another. We’re tougher than the wind tossing a gale at us.
