crossroads

Hi Folks,

 

     We all reach multiple crossroads in our lives.  Economic, physical, Spiritual ones, and emotional crossroads from time to time steal their way into our separate realities.  No matter how we attempt to order our lives, we just can not control the inputs into our existence.  We seek out and find avenues of peace, and harmony and tranquility in our lives, down which we can walk.  These "avenues", or places of rest in our existence, should be cherished for what they are...little blips of calmness in our chaotic worlds, and lives. 

 

     The "trick" is to recognize when you've arrived at one of these high-water marks in our lives, isn't it?  To realize that there is a turning point which is presenting itself to us, and to act in a fashion which benefits our lives, and the lives of our families.  We must CHOOSE to NOT drift, through these currents and eddies over lifes shoals.  It is important to recognize the new pathways, and roads, to our ongoing existence.  We have to recognize them, or we WILL drift through, into the path of least resistance.  The path of least resistance is not often the path that will benefit our lives, or our families lives.  We human beings, created in the likeness of our father God, crave acceptance amongst our peers.  Social interaction is difficult because people are so very different from one another.  It is not a cliche' to say that each person truly IS an individual, this is common knowledge and accepted fact.  As we each chart our pathway through the thousands of opportunities presented to us throughout our lives...try to see the signs.  Watch for the wisdom of our forebears, even our ancient ancestors, and learn to sense their hard learned lessons in yourself.  Read the book, the Bible, to understand how important the learned lessons of our ancestors can be in our lives.  Read the book, the Bible, to grasp the concepts of "good and evil", and how to deal with the crossroads which this societal construct engenders.  (Carolyn always tells me I always use "funny words", I guess she is right....engenders).  Read the book, the Bible, to understand how to recognize the signs of an upcoming crossroads in your life...before the decision of which path to take is upon you, and you find you have drifted right on through it...without giving the decision the proper respect for the impact it may have on you, and your family.  Read the book, the Bible, for the sake of your family and your own life.

 

      Recognizing these crossroads, and choosing the proper path is something that CAN be learned.  We are NOT doomed to repeat the mistakes of our past.  Choose an enlightened viewpoint, one which gives respect and reverance to the wisdom of our ancient forefathers, read the Bible for understanding, and enlightenment.  It is all there. 

 

God bless!
