Day 9: Well written allegory

The girls and I have been reading through the children's version of Hinds Feet on High Places. We are all loving it so much. I bought the book a few years ago but was waiting for the right moment to start reading it. This fall is proving to be the right moment. As we are all working to process some difficult situations, we are being reminded by "Much Afraid" (the main character) that "The Shepherd" is always with us when we call on Him. We will encounter many trials and troubles on our journey, we will experience things that cause pain, but through it all we have a friend who will never leave us alone.

Today I am thankful for the allegory of Hannah Hurnard's book Hinds' Feet on High Places. It had given me (us) so much to reflect upon and opened many good conversations in our house.
