Walking the Eternal Journey

If you think about walking an eternal journey, it may sound boring and tiring, however, I'm not referring to walking this journey in high heels to a particular destination, I'm referring to the eternal journey in our experiences.

In my estimation, there is no death.  When we release our last breath,  a new and different path comes into view, which is a new experience, that will give us new growth. 

We all fear the thought of death and the consequences.  Leaving our loved ones, leaving the life that we have grown accustomed to.

When we are young, the potentials are huge, we can see our lives going on forever.  As time ravages our bodies and the lines in the face mar the plumpness of our childhood, we know that time is passing and our days are numbered.

Even though we may see our present journey as coming to an end, the journey does not stop.  We are made of energy an essence that never dies, after all, it is the stuff that is God, God never dies and neither do we.

Since our journey is eternal, what kind of scenery do you want to experience?  Granted, there are always bumps in the road and many times we may fall and bruise our knees, but while we're down on our knees experiencing the scraps and bruises,  wouldn't it be a good time to pray?  Allow God to be with you as you travel.  Allow Him to help you get back on your feet.

I have experienced that that help can come in different forms, it might be having lunch with a good and close friend who can help pick you up and help you see your path again, after all, their eyes are not filled with tears, so they have a clearer view of where you are going.  God uses people to help His children. 

No one knows us better than our creator, no one understands the tearing of the heart like our Father/Mother. And no one knows who can provide the help that you need better than God. 

The bumps and the falls helps us to develop love and compassion.  If we never fell, if we never experienced life in it's fullness, we would never know how or when to extend our hand to help the person next to us.

Our eternal journey isn't just about the steps we take, it is a group journey.  We interconnect with those that we love, those that we don't love as much, and those that sometimes make us question our own sanity.  They all contribute to the person we are.

We walk together and learn together and with that connection we learn to love and we learn how to forgive.  We collect pearls of great wealth with each person we encounter, making our journey of great value.

It is interesting to note that the word life has the word "if" right in the middle (l if e).  We can make our life's journey pleasurable IF we take the time to see God in every aspect of our journey and hold the hand of someone who has lost sight of the path.
Together, as a people, with God leading the way, we can make our journey joyful and rewarding.
