Psalm 84:5-6<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/em>Blessed\u00a0is\u00a0the man whose strength\u00a0is\u00a0in You, whose heart\u00a0is\u00a0set on pilgrimage.\u00a0As they\u00a0pass through the Valley of Baca (weeping), they make it a spring; the rain also covers it with pools.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Today\u2019s Scripture just seems to sum up so much of the real meaning in life. We are all traveling along life’s pathway and none of us will remain. I can recall traveling across the country in an old car with running boards. (For you young people, those are things you could stand on while talking to people inside the car, or ride on when there was no more room inside the car, and you were just going two blocks anyway).<\/p>\n

We stayed at motor camps along the way to our destination. These were places that were not much more than four walls and hopefully close to the public restrooms. It was in no way considered home, even though travelers might stay there for several days or even a couple of weeks while they earned enough money to move on to the next stopping place.<\/p>\n

With this picture in mind, I ask this question:\u00a0 Would it be wise to make a lot of effort to fix up the dilapidated shack they were staying in for a few days?\u00a0 The answer is decidedly No!\u00a0 It was just a place of shelter as they were passing through.\u00a0 They were making provision for their new home. This was just a shanty along the roadway to their destination. Why do we spend so much time, energy, and effort to fix up something that is going to pass away?<\/p>\n

Blessings dear hearts.\u00a0\u00a0May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!<\/p>\n
