Airports and big cities.....

Airports and big cities.....

Yesterday, I spent the day at airports, in airplanes, on freeways in big cities....one of our modern ways of transportation and commerce..

I watched the thousands of people making their way to various appointments, cities, using a multitude of languages, all types of traveling garb, skin colors.....exchanging, buying,eating, drinking, gathering of information, comforting the young and the old...living life  while moving from one place to another ....we were confined to seats on airplanes, taxis, shuttles, moving walkways, terminals...all the while going about the business of life...busyness...

It made me ponder the movement of people over the span of thousands of years...

Adam and Eve leaving the garden...
Noah transporting his family and animals in a huge boat...
Abraham moving his family to the promised land...
Joseph changing lifestyles to ultimately save his nation...
Moses leading a nation across the desert...
Paul on his missionary trips...
The great cities of ancient times...
The migration of various people groups down through the ages on all the continents...
The explorers finding "new" lands....
Jesus walking to serve so many.....
The provisions and transportation needed to make so many life changes....

We all have a lot on common, the need for flexibility in life...food, transportation, safety, a call, encouragement along the way...new discoveries...

Thank YOU for Your watchcare over the many years of your creation...the help You have given, the direction, the Savior who has walked with us ...lived with us ....the Holy Spirit who lives in us as we tread through time...
