time travel

My work calls for interaction with folks as they prepare to retire.  One of the encouragements I generally make is that they do all the travelling they want in the first part of the retirement, while they enjoy good health as a couple.  Many, if not most, of us have a list somewhere inside our minds of some spots in our own country, as well as abroad, that we'd like to visit during our lives.  This morning it occurred to me that there is one journey that provides a great deal of opportunity that each of us is taking and that doesn't have to wait for retirement.  I was thinking of "time travel".  In a sense we are travelling to a new location with each day.  Having never been to "tomorrow" there can be a sense of adventure in the unknown before tomorrow becomes today.  Trusting, as we do, in a sovereign God we know that there are plans for our lives that will unfold through a fascinating blend of circumstance, relationship and experience.  Many of us have found that there is more excitement in observing the Lord's action in our lives than in our efforts to "make our lives a happening".  As the seasons of life progress we find joy and fresh perspective that can only come with age and maturity.  I am looking forward to going to some beautiful places on earth while I can, but I'm especially glad that we are "living the adventure" even as we journey from one day to the next.   Daniel 2:21 And He changes the times and the seasons;       He removes kings and raises up kings;       He gives wisdom to the wise       And knowledge to those who have understanding.   blessings, Rob Smith
