--Yes, we all are on a journey through life. Let's be sure our destiny is in Heaven with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
--Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." --[JOHN 14:6 / NASB]

--THIS PAST weekend I visited a town in northwest Arkansas where one of my best friends lives. She invited my girls and me to join her at her house on Beaver Lake, where we rode on her boat, swam, and relaxed. As we always do, we reminisced about the years I lived down the street from her, when we first became friends.

I asked about people I'd known in those days and she gave me updates on their lives--how they're doing, if they have kids, and their current job status. Driving home, I thought about them all, which led me to think about other people I've known who aren't a part of my life anymore. This is a relief with a few people, but mostly it makes me feel a little sad.

The writer of Ecclesiastes tells us there's a season for everything, and we see that truth reflected in the life of Jesus. Even in His short thirty-three years, He had different types of relationships, and people moved in and out of His life. Peter, James, and John were His inner circle, and [then] the twelve disciples. Mary, Martha, His mother, Mary, and Mary Magdalene were the women most prominent in His life. Then there were onetime encounters with individuals, as well as the multitudes He fed.

Relationships vary with season and stages of our lives. Sometimes we have control, but often we don't. Living in the moment, appreciating what has been, and trusting Jesus for the future is where peace lies.
On our journey, let's be sure to share the love of Jesus with those we come in contact with. We may be the vessel the Lord wants to use to spread His Word. ~~
