In my 15+ years running I have only turned back on a run 2 times. Today makes it 3. I was excited to run tonight. It was mild and rainy which I love but it was freezing rain. I slid down the driveway hoping the sidewalk was better but it wasn't. In about 3 minutes I nearly went flying 5 times and got a total soaker crossing the street. My feet were not gripping the ground at all. I had no choice but to turn around. I wonder how many times Mary wanted to turn around but she didn't have a choice.
This verse reminds me of Handel's Messiah maybe because of the word "everlasting". I think the music of The Messiah is so beautiful it sometimes makes me cry. "The days of your mourning will be ended" - that part of the verse makes me think of the people who are mourning and missing a loved one at Christmas.
