Lessons From the Stroller

Our toddler grandson loves to get behind his stroller and push it. He can’t see where he’s going, and sometimes the stroller gets out of control going down the driveway, or it gets stuck on a curb or crack. Of course, unbeknownst to him, I have my hand on the stroller handle. I can see the way forward and keep it under control to help him over the rough spots.

Jesus walks beside us and has His hand gently on the handle of our lives, keeping us safe. It’s easy to forget that Jesus is nearby. Our Lord calls us to take our hand off the stroller, get in, and let Jesus make our paths straight.
