Pave The Way To The Cross

Jean T. Houston, TX TripAdvisor

“I was overwhelmed by my experience here. My husband and I were returning from a family weekend visit to San Antonio. We have two sons who have just finished their service for our country. There are many types of wounds to heal from war, and our family’s are not all that different from others. Some were stitched and healed by a Doctor, some are inside. One of my sons no longer believes that God is the solution to our problems. He believes that religion is responsible for all of our wars. I was praying on the way home to myself about this, for my family. My family is all I have. I love them. I have never thought too much about the large cross on the road, except that it must be on private land, because now that society being what it is, it would be illegal for it to be on public land, so near the road, even if it comforts us to see it as we pass. But, my husband surprised me. He said that he wanted to see this cross. So, we did. I thought we would just drive by it, and maybe sit for a while, I didn’t know. When we got there, I realized I would have to get out and walk, and read the lovely scriptures written all the way to the cross and see the beautiful monumental, majestic, sculptures created to glorify God. I stood under the Cross. I read how ask for a miracle and realized that God heard me praying. He brought me and my husband here to comfort me. I sat and wrote my prayer on the Prayer Rock. I wrote: Thank you God, for answering my prayers. Your child, Jean.”
