This is the story:
A woman led her daughter through a dim forest where there was a very dark scary looking tunnel. The little girl was afraid to go through. Her mom went through and got past the darkness easily. "Come on" she swayed her daughter. The child had three options. She could either go through that tunnel, walk through prickly thorns around the tunnel, or she could turn around and go back. "I want to leave" she replied in fear. "It's okay, I got through. See, I'm alright" said the mother reassuringly. Cautiously the child walked through and after a few moments of shivering, she made it to the other side. She looked back at the dark tunnel and with a big smile she said: "I'm glad I didn't go back." Many of us are like that girl. We want to get out of our troubling situations. Maybe it's the sickness you're going through, or maybe you have to say good bye to someone you love, or you have to make a change in your life. What ever it is God is with you. This is one of the most important parts of this story: God is the mother standing at the other side saying "it's okay child, I already made it through, you just have to follow me.
We are all in need of the reminding that God is with us through all times and those that need reassurance most is our children. How many times are they afraid of something so they come running up to us saying their scared? Each time you remind you're child that it's okay and you're there with them, try to always remember to remind them that God is always with them as well. That's a perfect time to read scriptures with them about what God says in the bible about fear. It will bring them peace and bring you all together closer to God.
