Woke up without any thought that things would be any different as I got ready this morning. A flush of anger and anxiety was soon to surge, however, accompanied by my realization that I would have to drop Tabitha off at home before I left for work-like we had talked about the night previous and which I had since negligently let slip from my mind-which would inevitably put me late getting into work. How could I have been so dumb? We rushed, I tried to keep calm without too much success, and we were out the door. After having empathetically taken my frustration upon herself throughout it all, Tabitha then at the driveway of her parents house promised to pray for me that the lights would be green as I drove. With each successive light I felt my tension giving way to the persistent and dazzling love from a perfect spouse. I could hear her calm care whispering in my ear the words to a favorite prayer:
"May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the sunlight warm upon your face, the rain fall soft upon your fields; and until we meet again my God hold you in the palm of His hand. Amen". 11 of them later I clocked in with one minute to spare. The force of her faith on my doubt changed the face of the day. |
