Mr. Climb

A few years ago, my wife and I attended a Bible lectureship program at Freed-Hardeman University.

It was in February, a month normally that delivers cold shivers to everyone.

As we made our way across the blacktop parking lot to the steep, infinite steps of the auditorium, my eyes caught the outline of a young man.

He was climbing steps.

There’s nothing unusual about climbing steps.

People do that every day.

But this young man had no legs.

What was more amazing about this young man was the speed by which he mounted each step.

He’d swing one stump up on a step, then the other, and repeat the process until he reached the top.

I don’t know his name.

I didn’t meet him that day.

I wished I had.

But that young man left an impression on me that I’ll always remember.

The impression?

Here it is.

“Life’s an upward climb.”

Each step inched him closer to his goal.

I don’t know the “steps” you’re climbing.

Maybe the steps of parenting?

Or the steps of changing jobs?

Are you climbing the steps of a caregiver?

Whatever you’re climbing, remember it’s one step at a time.

Each step moves you closer to the top.

Just ask Mr. Climb.
