Good Morning,
I am very satisfied to be home and drinking a hot cup of Door County Inn Keepers Blend Coffee.
For the last three days my wife Rene and I have been traveling in Door County Wisconsin. We were taking our annual fall trip to the area. We had no specific plans and just managed by heading North and taking roads that were filled with fall colors. We made random stops here and there to take a picture or explore different things we encountered.
The scenery on the country roads was perfect and Lake Michigan did it's part to add a shimmer to the sunrise and sunsets. Now country roads are nothing like a highway, and more often than not they are hilly, with many turns.
Psalm 16:11 You make known to me the path of life, in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forever more.
We spent an hour or so in a small town and enjoyed their farmers market. Again we had no idea when we stopped that we would dine on some home made Swedish meatballs, purchase an alpaca sweater and talk duck hunting with a local hunter. Everything we did was pretty much at random. We consulted a GPS to occasionally get back to the road that led us to our hotel, but mostly we just found our way by knowing the position of the sun.
The beautiful roads reminded me how much God has allowed me to see, and witness during my life. But as with the roads, life's journey has had some hills to climb. But even while climbing the hills of life, God was there to show me the way to the end. He is there from the beginning to the end. The right road isn't always the easiest, yet God's road is best. Even during a climb, we should stop and take in the experience. In His presence there is joy despite the climb.
Food for thought!
Marty
