Serving a purpose....

Everything, everyone, has a purpose. Take this seed for example, it is made to grow on this tree and let go at the appropiate time and take flight, land some where new, and grow again.....to perpetuate the life cycle.

People can be like this seed. They can grow and hang on to the tree and not let go. When this seed didn't let go it got covered in snow and ice. It formed this beautiful icicle, but did it meet it's full potential? Maybe being a seed covered with snow and ice is exactly what it was made for.....but what if it didn't let go and be a tree?

Paths (Continued).....

There are paths that we all go down in life..... Sometimes the paths are wide enough for you and your friends and family.....

Sometimes the path is only wide enough for you......

watch your footing.....

He is a lamp unto our feet and light unto our path.....Thank you Lord for showing me the path.

Paths......

We all walk down a path in life. Sometimes it's a picturesque one that is "postcard" worthy. We are walking along, going where we are suppose to be going. We are helping people, building into each other's lives, just living life. We have a job, a car, a family that we love.

THEN, there is a limb that falls in our path.....

Our first instinct is to stop, possibly turn around and find a different path. BUT, what if there isn't another path? We can go over the limb.....climb through the branches, having to hold down one of them as we swing our leg over it. We can go around it, but being cautious because that is an electric fence that it has landed on. We can't go around it on the other side, that's a steep bank that drops into a creek.

We have choices.

What choice are we going to make?

What choice am I going to make?

Paths.....detours.....choices......
