The Road Of Life

The Road Of Life Is Full Of Uncertainties
We Travel It By Faith And Determination
Facing The Challenges That Lie Before Us
And Willing To Take One Step At A Time
When We Learn By Faith To Trust In The Goodness Of God
We Are Able To Accept Each Day As A Gift
And We Can Look Forward To Each Tomorrow
Knowing That He Will Be There Each Step Of The Way

Thoughts By: Rick Schies

I saw this one spot while driving to work this morning, and the way the path led beyond my sight, it made me think of how we fear the uncertainties of life, the unknowns, and often that hinders our ability to enjoy life in the now. If only we could learn to take one day at a time, perhaps we could rid ourselves of some of the unnecessary worries that make their way into our mind. Sometimes that is easier said than done.

The lighting of the photo perfectly matches the inspirational thoughts that you included.... and like you said so many times this is easier said than done. I know that "trust" comes hard to me.

[Vickie Posey]

I think, I'm following you for your messages more than your photos LOL! The Lord has a way of putting people in our path. I was just reading in the book of Job today. There was one part (footnotes etc.) That said, it's better to know God then answers. Job didn't know why he was suffering. It's all to our good some how, IF we hold on to the Lord. :-)
