MUDDY PATH
By Sally I. Kennedy
October 29, 2010

"The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine upon
you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give
you peace." Numbers 6:24-26

May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon
us. Psalm 67:1

What a perfect day for a fall hike. We were excited to get outdoors
in crisp air and bright sunshine. The path was just wide enough to
have been well-traveled when it was a stagecoach trail. I squeezed my
fists, trying to capture a little of the wonderful cool dry air.

Barely over the rickety wooden bridge the path began to change from a
litle bit rocky and dusty to slightly muddy. Shade and shadows from
the skinny-trunked aspen trees cast dark coolness onto the path. By
the time we were a bit farther, the path became with squishy mud.

On the return, I glimpsed at the brook to the left which was humming
happily. From there on back, the path reverted from muddy to dusty
but solid and easy to walk on.

The muddy part of the path was not in sunlight, the other was. I
thought, "Just a little sunshine makes such a difference."

Sometimes my life begins to resemble a muddy path. It's good for me to
remember that a little Son-light on it could make all the difference.
