Seven hills and an important lesson learnt

3800 holy steps… 8 kilometers…. 7 hills… I have heard, and thought a lot about the difficult choice of residence our God’s make.

On the contrary though, if it were not for that, I would not have realized the value of the hand that used to hold mine when I was panting for breath, and close to giving up each time I invited myself over to His abode. As I made that soul filling but lonely climb, I realized how important it is to be gifted with the faculty that can recognize both, the ability to give, and receive love.

My companions beat me on that hike by over 30 minutes, I arrived there late. With a heart that was thankful for all the love I have received, and been able to give.

Thank you God! Your ways are strange, but I think the presence of absence is the best teacher.. ironically though, but divinely..
