Moving Forward While Glancing Back

I looked at the jacket. If I took it, I’d just hang it in a closet at the nursing home. It would sit in the dark, smelling of mothballs until I died. Then Sarah would donate it right back to the same rack. History dies when you lock it away.

We parked our van and boarded the ark walking up a long, gradual ramp much like the animals boarded two by two in Noah Ark. We were in the ark about ten minutes when we heard a loud, deep boom of a heavy door closing. I imagined it sounded like what Noah and his household must have heard when God Himself closed the door after all were boarded.

Symbolically speaking, a horizon symbolizes a boundary between the known and the unknown that includes both limits and infinite possibilities. It represents hope and opportunity. The eastern horizon where the sun rises is a powerful symbol for new beginnings, hope, and the start of a new day. Colossians 3:1 says it this way, “Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes in the morning.”
