She was traveling a rugged rutted highway from Alberta to Yukon in a rundown Honda Civic.
The first evening she found a room in the mountains near a summit and asked for a 5 A.M. wakeup call so she could get an early start.
She couldn't understand why the clerk looked so surprised but the next morning when she looked out a heavy fog she understood.
Not wanting to look foolish, she got up and went to breakfast.
Two truckers invited Linda to join them, and since the place was so small, she felt obliged.
"Where are you headed?" one of the truckers asked. 'Whitehorse'
"In that little Civic? No way! This pass is dangerous in weather like this."
"Well, I'm determined to try," was Linda's gutsy, if not very informed, response.
"Then I guess we're just going to have to hug you," the trucker suggested.
Linda drew back. "There's no way I'm going to let you touch me!"
"Not like THAT!" the truckers chuckled.
"We'll put one truck in front of you and one in the rear. In that way, we'll get you through the mountains."
All that foggy morning Linda followed the two red dots in front of her and had the reassurance of a big escort behind as they made their way safely through the mountains.
Caught in the fog in our dangerous passage through life, we need to be "hugged." With fellow Christians who know the way and can lead safely ahead of us, and with others behind, gently encouraging us along, we, too, can pass safely.
Count the blessings of God instead of the faults of men.
Be a success in this world, but while you are busy at being a success be sure that part of that success is being a successful human being in your relationship to your fellow man and to your God.
Be as busy at building a solid foundation of faith as you at building a solid financial foundation, yes even in these times and even more so.
Pray up to God, live well and wisely within the framework of his commandments; seek peace by giving instead of always taking.
These rules are as old as time and as old as man’s need.
