Enjoying the Journey.

Fox Run Regional Park, Black Forest, Colorado

We're so busy getting from point A to point B that we miss the journey.

In the nearly fifteen years that I've lived in Colorado my family and I have made plenty of trips to Oregon. My Dodge Stratus, which we purchased just previous to our move to Colorado Springs, has over 300,000 miles on it. (No, that is not a typo.) When you make that many trips it's easy to take for granted the sights along the way.

Making this journey through Fox Run Regional Park is not about getting from point A to point B. It's about the hike itself.

"And so I walk in the LORD's presence as I live here on earth!" Psalm 116:9 New Living Translation

One of the joys of living with the promise of heaven is that we experience a taste of paradise now. The psalmist proclaimed that he walked in the presence of the Lord.  We live with the same promise.

Today you walk with Christ. It's not about where you're going today but with whom you are walking so enjoy the journey.
