Another Day's Journey

By Lois Cloud

We all go through journeys in our lives and often feel that we are on this journey alone. It is nice to know that the everyday ups and downs are the experiences that can make us or break us.
When we walk in someone else’s shoes for a bit we can sympathize, laugh, cry, agree or disagree and at that point know that we are not alone in this life’s journey. We keep going, we keep living, and we keep experiencing the journeys in our lives that make us who we aspire to be, who we want to be and who we are.
Look at your life and the journeys you are going through and think of all the roads to come, then realize that your past experiences are the things that motivate your future journeys. Love, peace, joy, and happiness are journeys that we should have every day. But we do not!
Walk with me through a couple of journeys in my life.

Belief

I think myself gullible to a certain extent because I want to believe that there is good in all people.

Even when they show me sides of themselves that may prove otherwise.

My heart won’t let me not have belief in the good.

But, I have not met all people.

Conditions

God gave mankind the ability to love unconditionally.

How many of us can say that we have succeeded in this type of love?

He gave us the ability to love with our whole hearts.

He just wants us to put Him first.

Then open our hearts to love others as He loves us.

At best, many try extremely hard to keep God first.

We are emotional people and sometimes it takes first place.

You would think unconditional love would come with great joy, but quite the contrary.

Why do we put so many conditions on our love?

If you think about it, we must think we are better than God

To make someone jump through hoops to love us.

Connected

We had a rhythm that had been perfected over the years. It was smooth and jazzy, exciting, and thrilling.

Adventure and excitement keep us connected and ever vigilant, God, Relationship, family, work, and play.

Success was based on our hearts and family and not our jobs and wealth.

In the blink of an eye, tragedy comes and shatters our world!

Left alone to learn again!

Picking up the pieces is hard, and family can hold you hostage.

God can mend the heart and
