No one has ever seen God.

 But if we love each other, 

God lives in us, 

and his love is brought 

to full expression

 in us.

~ 1 John 4:12, NLT

Love to all along the trail of life,

"Life, more than a walk in the park..."

I spotted an elderly couple out for a stroll in a local park.  As I watched them , I was aware that they seemed to be in no hurry, and that they stopped momentarily to maybe enjoy their surroundings, pointing out various interesting sights on the trail.  I also wondered what was going through their minds.

Every time I see this image, in my mind, I am reminded of several things 

about my own journey through life:

I can look back, or continue to seek out the path before me.

I can always take the easy way through, or I can veer off the beaten path

 to find new discoveries.

I must always be aware of obstacles that might trip me up.

I can stop and rest, and take time to enjoy life, 

and be happy where I am at, or walk on past,

 ignoring the blessings of each new step.

I can drink in God's blessings, or I can just simply get to the end of my road.

I can go it alone, or have someone by my side to share the journey with.

Even when it seems as though I am walking alone, 

I can always rely on God's hand to steady and guide me,

and look to Him for direction.

LOVE TO ALL, NORM
