Story of a Tall Man and a Short Wife

A friend of mine recently shared the story of his trip to Disneyland with his wife.

Now, what you need to know about this friend (before I tell you the story) is he is about 6 foot 4 and his wife is about 4 foot 10. (No lie.)

And so when they went to Disneyland, he talked about how there were just massive amounts of people there ~ like wall to wall. He joked about how the great thing about being so tall is you can see over everybody.

Not so for his wife. She was literally buried.

So he told her to just hold on to his hand and follow him and don't let go ~ cuz he could see where they were going (he could see over everybody) and could get her where they needed to be regardless of if she could see or not.

And the fact is sometimes we just can't see where we're going (/the forest for the trees). It may not be a Disneyland trip (like my friend and his wife). It may be something else (like a business is struggling or ends meet aren't meeting or health is giving out, etc. ~ it could be anything).

And we're like my friend's wife. We're "too short" to see the way out. And there's just no way we're gonna navigate our situation to a good conclusion without the "sight" of someone who's "taller."

There are people who have been through what we're going through and made it. Sometimes just talking with somebody whose opinion/advice we respect is just the help we need.
