I Am With You

Just a little while ago, I got a call from my daughter. ( the kids went to lunch with their dad )

" Hi Mom! We're going flying!! We're on the runway and we're going to take off in a minute!"

So I promise to go out in the yard and wave, and sure enough, I hear the drone of the plane about five minutes later.

As I'm standing there waving at the plane I'm thinking wow, my whole life, everything I live for, work for, love -  is up in that tiny plane.

I must say, I had a moment of fear. Life is so fragile, I'm so afraid of losing them.

I am rather a fearful person. I fear heights, I fear snakes, I fear sickness, some unknown tragedy, conflict, pain, I am at times afraid of the future.

Some of these I struggle with daily, others not so often.

As I watched the plane bank, circle the house, and then straighten and head out of sight I felt God's love, and then his peace surround me.

"Fear not, for I am with you..."

" Behold, I am with you, even to the end of the ages."

I'm so glad for His presence in my life.
