Sometimes from the hardest place
Out of the toughest times
When life is bleak
The darkness closes in all around
There comes an unexpected friend
In that same pit
Locking arms you carry one another out

Jason, this is absolutely beautiful in its truth. I believe God puts people in our path to help us walk through those dark times. Your words here have captured how I have felt many times about people in my own life.

Jason, I see the wisdom of your words. Thinking of any dark situation in our lives, we may bump into others in the dark of the night. We discover we have more in common than either of us thought. God is sovereign and in control.

We got this, Jason. ☺️ Many hands make light work, they do say, don’t they. Although I still haven’t figured out who ‘they’ are. 😂
