The Journey

Today as I was spending time with the Lord, He gave me a picture of this long winding dirt road. It was mostly straight with some sharp curves popping up every so often. As I was viewing this road the Lord took me on this journey and I soon realized it was "my road of life". I was traveling and remembering various moments through my childhood years, through my teens, young adult life, up to the present. It was a journey of the ups and downs of my life. The times I felt hurt and disappointment, but also times of experiencing joy and excitement as I traveled on this dusty road.

All during this time I saw the Lord walking right beside me, through all the pain and hurt as well as the good times and happiness. I suddenly sensed a peace that God was right there with me through all of my life's journey. Thanksgiving is tomorrow, but today I was truly thankful that the Lord was and is with me on my road of life. God was with me in the past, He's with me in the present and He'll be with me in the future.

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:38, 39)

Each of us are on this journey with God and may we all give "Thanks" to Him who is with us on a daily basis. Have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving!

Blessings,
