Highway Thoughts + My First Post on the Group Blog
A few days ago, I was going to a town about two hours away. While on the highway, my thoughts led me to contemplate how interstates compare to life.
I know that sounds a little odd, (you should have seen the look my mom gave me when I told her this. xD) but hang with me.
Think about the purpose of interstates. Chances are, if you're on one, you're not going to stay on it until it ends. You're going to travel it for a little while and then exit off. You're not there for the destination, you're there for the journey.
Now let's think about life. To a lot of people, it's about the outcome. Making all the money. Having the best job, biggest house, and nicest car. 'Climbing to the top'. In a sense, the destination.
But friends, joy isn't found it having it all. Joy is found in the journey. In the little, seemingly meaningless everyday occurrences that bring a smile to your face.
On the highway of life, we're not here for the destination. We're here for the journey.
What do you think about when you're cruising down the highway?

I love road trips. Listening to music, looking out the window and such. Often on road trips I think a lot. That doesn’t sound odd ... sounds close to somethings I’ve thought of :).
ReplyDeleteSo do I! Road-tripping is always enjoyable. :) Hehe, good to hear. ;)
DeleteSo true. It's hard to think that way for me, but I should. Thanks for this. ☺
