"Fear not for I am with you always." That's one of my reminders when things seem out of whack, or I am uncertain where payday will come from or illness threatens myself or my loved ones. "Fear not for I am with you always." What is always? Infinity.
I remember when my daughter, Nikky, was only six years old. She was a precocious child, and she sometimes became consumed with thoughts about things I was sure other six year olds were not thinking about at all, let alone with trepidation. One of her brain worms that plagued her for awhile was the question of infinity. She learned of the concept somewhere, probably Sunday School, but her mind would not let her accept any short, trite lesson. She had to analyze it, which led to a conversation in the pool on a lovely weekend afternoon. I wish I remembered the exact words she said, and I regret I did not write them down, but I remember the emotions and puzzlement as she asked numerous questions trying to grasp infinity. I don't even remember how much of the time I answered questions and how much of the time I comforted, but whatever took place, she gained peace with the issue, and so life moved on to the next thing traveling through infinity.
We live in a world inundated with an over saturation of just about everything. The pace of knowledge expansion and change is daunting at times even to the most adventurous. I am thankful for the words I learned long ago because I had a mama who cared about those things. "Fear not for I am with you always." What is always? Infinity.
Peace, Love, Linda
