"TIRED" OUT
When Tara and I were in high school, we found a "huge" truck inner tube, and we found some old chopped up broomsticks and used them as our oars.We took all this down to Lake Gertrude, where we began a journey across the lake......I'm not sure what we thought we were accomplishing,except that we could do it.If we had thought about all the alligators in the lake,I'm not sure we would have even thought about such a venture,because we are two of the most "chickeneyish" creatures on the planet!
Well, we paddled,and kicked,and we reached the first half of the lake,and we rocked our way through the middle part of this figure eight lake. When we got to the second half,I think we realized what we had done! This was the bottom half of a figure eight lake, and we were stuck!We had to finish, but we were dog tired.Somehow,we managed to finish paddling with those broomstick oars and find our way to the edge of the beach where my house was being built.Now, once we got there, how do you think we were getting home folks? Do you think that two girls who could come up with doing something like this,would remember to leave a car there,so they could drive home?
We thought they should have too!!!....Only they didn't!
Thankfully about that time,my sweet Daddy arrived to rescue us!
Isn't that always the way our Heavenly Father does too?
He always comes through and rescues us too,doesn't He?
