Time passes surely and steadily with every birthday and anniversary, so in keeping with the title of this blog, I thought it would be a good thing to remind ourselves of the journey ahead that we all face. Our hopes, dreams, and chosen paths are different, but we are all on a journey whether we like it or not. In the months to come, let’s have a look at some of the highs and lows of this trip which we all face, and if you want to comment about your own experiences, you can do this on the parent blog page.
There is not a day goes by that you will not be faced with a decision which will affect the remainder of that day, perhaps the week, or indeed even longer. We must be careful then as we travel and interact with others who are on their own personal journey because there is an element of choice in the travelling we do. For some, it is a casual but healthy, non risk, walking exercise, but for others it will be like scaling a mountain. There are many types of journey in between these extremes, and I hope we can look at some of these through a spiritual lens.
If you read the Gospels you will soon realise that Jesus was on a journey for all of His 33 years while He was in an earthly body. He suffered many things, physical and emotional, and came out on top with the greatest miracle of all time. He defeated satan and death, and that is our total encouragement as we travel this life. So, let’s see what we can discover. Stay with me, and follow along as we explore that fact that “Life IS a Journey”!
He [Jesus] said to them, “When you travel, don’t take a walking stick. Also, don’t carry a bag, food, or money. Take for your trip only the clothes you are wearing. Luke 9:3
