My wife and I (girlfriend at the time), were on the homeward leg of a motorcycle journey and we had one last stop to make with my Grandma Toodles. I wasn’t sure what to expect as I approached long-haired on a motorcycle with a strange girl.
But Grandma Toodles never failed, and she had supper ready and not soon after, with a grin, asked if she could try on my helmet! She said if she was younger she’d have me give her a ride. I tried to coax her, but she wouldn’t budge.
You see, there is a sojourner in all of us. A traveler, a part of our soul that knows we are on a journey and when we recognize that life gets exciting.
In many ways, the Bible is a storybook of journeys. From Adam and Eve leaving the garden, to the wanderings of Moses and his people, to John the Baptist in the desert or Christ on the many paths of his ministry.
We are all called to be part of that journey.
In Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
