It was our high school class motto: "Life is a journey, not a destination." Those words seemed fitting at the time. Little did I know how meaningful they would become decades later.
I thought that if I worked hard, lived right, treated others well and believed all that I should believe...well, life would be positive....not easy...but positive. Little did I know that the journey would be much more about how I take it than how I make it. Certainly, hard work is essential. Making good, responsible choices is very important. Having faith makes an incredible difference. But the journey has brought more unexpections than I ever imagined possible, including tremendous blessings...and heartbreaking burdens.
Some days bring dancing in celebration...through rain, sun, storms and clouds. Other days bring me to my knees in overwhelming disbelief at what is happening on this journey. There are also days when the journey is challenging but I have complete peace that He is with us and He will make a way. Most of us face days of each kind.
Life is definitely a journey. Like country roads I have driven for decades, we don't always know what lies ahead...or what will appear or even blindside us. Yet we find a way to move forward. We learn from our yesterdays. We do our best today. We cling to hope for tomorrow.
I am so grateful that any day I face, there is Someone Who loves me. There is Someone Who holds me. There is Someone Who listens. There is Someone Who leads. May I focus on Him most as this journey unfolds...as each day passes...until He takes me Home.♥~thl
