I've been spending some time lately with the Breastplate of St. Patrick, that ancient prayer that lists all the places that Christ is to be found, (i.e. above me, behind me, beside me, within me etc.) but the one that I see played out in this short video is "Christ before me."
Even when it appears that we can't possibly make it across whatever the next lane of life brings, there Christ is, our very own Mother Duck, telling us to keep our eyes on him. AND TO KEEP WALKING FORWARD.
Even when we can feel the blowback from the cars and are sure we have been injured beyond repair, Christ runs back to check our feathers and tells us to KEEP GOING FORWARD.
Even when we are absolutely positive that there is no way to make it to the other side of whatever we are facing today, Christ never gives up leading us safely to the other side.
So here's to the faith of those baby ducklings. May we all keep our eyes on the one who calls us to keep moving forward in hope and love....

Boy, haven't I learned this lesson over the years with Sam. I really do know now that I only need to hang on and trust... all will be revealed to me in time. XOXO to you my friend.
