One Step at a Time

There can be a big difference in having information and holding truths that have transformed our lives. 

A transforming that gives us courage 

to take the next step.

One is much easier because you have it, and it gives a sense of "well-being" without effort.  When faith inspires, we do not fear 

what is behind us.

 There is a vast difference in knowing something, and experiencing Someone intimately.

The difference in holding something means we are learning to labor through the process. 

We will not let go until we have learned, all our Father has for us in this lesson.   This is how we cultivate faith  in the every day things of life. 

Every step, is leading us closer.

Theory's or fictional stories always have a set end.  They are easily shaped and formed, like Castle Building.  Always happy endings.

Learning the value of the Hard, makes Holding on have a deeper meaning.  Words carry more weight when few, just as enduring hardship, gives Hope to our Holding.  And we can be assured, that people are watching (especially our little ones).

I'd rather see a sermon,

than hear one any day

I'd rather one would walk with me

than merely tell the way

The eye's a better pupil

and more willing than the ear

Fine counsel is confusing,

but an example's always clear

 And the best of all the preachers

are the men who live their creeds

For to see good put in action is

what everybody needs

I soon can learn to do it,

if you'll let me see it done

I can watch your hands in action,

but your tongue too fast may run

 And the lecture you deliver

may be very wise and true

But I'd rather get my lessons

by observing what you do

For I might misunderstand you,

and the high advice you give

But there is no misunderstanding

how you act and how you live
