SITTING AT MY TABLE

Only yesterday, I shared food with a table with complete strangers. It was the typical pizza, each of us laughing and visiting between bites of gooey cheese and bits of pepperoni. It was very relaxing, no one caring about the background of anyone at the table. God's goodness was felt, a time to count our blessings. All of our eyes sparkled, just as the eyes of the one smiling innocent child at our table, who had yet traveled many paths on the journeys of life. What a lovely hour of of simpleness, a fine way to nurture the soul.

"They shared food with gladness and simplicity. They praised God and demonstrated God's goodness to everyone. " Acts 2:46,47 (CommonEnglishBible)

WHAT DO WE SEE

As we aim for our goal, we must not climb the mountain all at once, going straight for the top. We need to follow the switchbacks, slowly leading us to where we need to go, seeing what is along the path on our journey. Reaching our destination, we will be exhilarated, not exhausted, filled with new wisdom, ready to share what we have learned with many.

GOSH, WHICH PATH SHOULD I TAKE

Going off the straight and narrow path makes one dizzy. Roads wtih many twists & turns will require prayer and asking God to help us see the way back. The road may be rocky at times, but it doesn't mean we give up, as God is there to pull us up, to move on. It might be the hardest path we have ever taken. At the end, we will have learned widsom, maturity beyond our years and experiences we had never dreamed up. Our character has blossomed into a beautiful flower, one with a strong root, not ready to wither, ready to withold its beauty, because it has been through everything!

Go out for a walk this week and find that flower. See how solid it is planted into the earth. Admire it, reflect upon it, decide how you will begin to lead your life, holding strong to your roots, not straying far from your path, always listening to the teachings of God, . ~Marie T. Morrison~
