Stride with Confidence

    I have a picture of horses running through a river stream.  The horses are holding their heads high and striding with confidence.  As I have gotten older, I often remembered this picture and realize more and more how it provides an example for our lives.

      Life is a continuous stream of events that occur.  Often we find ourselves traveling through life and sometimes the stream of events can cause us to stubble or even almost fall.  Often the currents force us to steady ourselves because of  the pressures of life - work, family, relationships - can become very intense.

     We are not alone, like the horses in the picture, traveling through life.  There are others traveling along the same stream. In the picture the horses are confident in their ability to move through the stream and get to their final destination. Like the horses, we can choice to hold our heads high and stride with confidence and  traverse the stern currents of life and reach our destination.

     I encourage you today, to hold your head high and stride with confidence as you travel through the streams of your life.
