One of the good things about being on a steep hike is that you get some spectacular views when you have a chance to rest. You can see your progress, how far you have come. And you can see the beauty of the world in which you are climbing. Those scenic moments help to make the rest of the climb easier. They help to make it all worthwhile. Right now we are admittedly in rocky territory with more hills to come, but we are also in the breathtaking creation of a great and loving partner. Let’s keep climbing because I am sure the Spirit has saved the best for last.
