Packing
a suit case...
When I am getting ready to travel, it takes several days to pack. Not that there is that much, but I want what is neededfor that particular trip, not too much, just the right amount. Not too much weight as I have to carry it, or roll it as the case may be...( i have switched from two wheel drive to four wheel drive this year with my suitcases, though...much easier)
On a longer journey, I lookup the weather and adjust my clothing for that climate or the itinerary . What will it Be like, what are the activities be? It is casual , dress up?
I try to pack as many easy wash items as possible so that I don't have to spend time at the laundry or will they do the laundry for me?
Preparation....a key task, in preparing for the journey...
What do I need in life's journey????who will I meet, what are the events..
In 2 Timothy 4, Paul exhorts Timothy to be prepared in season and put of season......
Throughout scripture the word "prepared" is used 79 times, people prepared for battle, they prepared meals,
God prepared various things, times....each event, seems to be a thoughtful planned out time..preparing...getting ready for.....
Again, what do I need on life's journey ?
God ' s view of life
His Word
His care
His provision
His view
His fruit
His pruning
Openness to His preparations for my life....not my own all the time...
1 Corinthians 2:9
However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for those who love him—
Now I need to go pack that suitcase for a journey...
Traveling through grief---
Grief causes growth like nothing else we know of. It reorders priorities and life values. It helps us appreciate the goodness of the smaller things found in each day, of children playing and nature all around .......
