Seeking Life’s Shelter
I recall in the countryside where I grew up, that if heavy rain or hail showers came while walking in the fields, we would put ourselves up close to the hedge for shelter until it passed. I’ve had to do similar many times through life’s ebbs. Like the shelter of the hedge, I have sought…
