Our Dear Boy
And so you are across the waters. I was getting somewhat suspicious. We thought that maybe you were just on a maneuver and were unable to get mail thro. Am glad you are safe. We still don't know where you are of course, but it is a consolation to me to think of what you said once when you were small, maybe about 8 years old. You did not exactly like to go up alone in the dark. Still you did not just think you should be afraid. But you were getting sleepy and I said, “I will go with you if you want me to. Not that there is anything to be afraid of. But I will go along anyway because it would be fun.”
“Yes,” you said, “if you will. But there is nothing to be afraid of because God is here when it is dark, too. Isn't it kind of funny to think, Mamma, that God is so big and so great He is all over the world at one time and sees everything at once. Still He is so small that He can get into this house even when all the doors are closed. Now He sees them that are downstairs, He sees that that went to choir practice, and He is here and sees you and me, even now when there is only our heads sticking out.”
We sometimes come to places where we find as there is only our heads sticking out, but still He sees us. Yes, Al, we shall put our trust in God and everything will come out just fine. We have an anchor that keeps the soul, steadfast and sure while the billows roar, fastened to the Rock that can not move. Grounded firm and safe in our saviors love. It's been such a consolation to me to remember this, and I wanted to remind you, as I know you feel the same.
