Ok, so maybe not the saddle, but I did go for my first bike ride again since I broke my back last August. It hasn't been because I was afraid, I truly haven't had time. But yesterday after working in the yard Randy and I decided we would try it again. We rode down a new stretch of highway that has only been opened a year or so. There are no billboards and not a lot of traffic. The mountains were straight in front of us. The air was cool and you could smell the honeysuckle along the banks of the creek. It was so nice.
I was thrilled when we made it back without incident!! As silly as it sounds, I was glad that it was just an ordinary ride. It proved to me that what happened before was just an accident, not that I was unable to do what children do all the time!!!
As I rode along I thought about how our Christian lives are like that bike accident., Sometimes we fall and God, in all His infinite wisdom and kindness, picks us up, brushes off and sends us back down our path.
I am awfully glad that He is a God of second chances!!!
