A Flyer and a Catcher enter the circus ring and greet the audience with smiles and movement that cause their wide silver capes to swirl about them. 

           

They pull themselves up into the large net and start to climb rope ladders to positions high up in the big tent. 

           

Henri Nouwen uses the trapeze [The Flying Rodleighs] as a metaphor, the Flyer swings away from the pedestal board; she somersaults and turns freely in the air, only to be safely grasped by the Catcher.  The secret is for the Flyer to trust that the Catcher will grasp them.

So it is with God and us, we need to trust that the Lord will grasp us each time we fly into His arms.  God longs for us to fly to His loving embrace, fly now, fly tomorrow and one-day fly into eternity with the Lord, He is there to catch you.

May God Be Praised!
