Susan LaffertyFaithfulness. My parents just celebrated a milestone. Their 66th wedding anniversary.
Sixty-six years traveling together across oceans. Living in tropical urban centers and American towns.
A journey marked by great joys. Victories.
And deeply painful losses. Hurts. Dark nights.
The thread running through it all? Faithfulness.
Preconceived outcome looms. Hinders. Weakens the witness. “Do you believe this is true?” A simple question. One I can ask after sharing the gospel. But everything in my mind braces for resistance, remembering frequent rejections. Anxious thoughts pile up. Expecting the “no.”
Ever dismayed by the demand? Narrow door. Only one way to the Father. Denying self, taking up the cross daily. So much surrender entering the Kingdom of God.
