Lesson 4: Sometimes You Just Need Something to Hold On To

Everything grows up. But some things aren’t strong enough to grow as high as they need to without something to hold on to. Vegetables like peas and tomatoes need tall cages or wood lattice or stakes tied with string to keep themselves steadily growing upwards. Flowering vines like wisteria or clematis actually seek out stability to wrap themselves around.

Like peas and tomatoes, wisteria and clematis, we too are growing up. Up into adulthood or womanhood or motherhood. Up into someone (hopefully) better than yesterday. Up toward God. And sometimes we just need something to hold onto. Something to help us reach up one more inch.

What do you hold onto?
