The Unlikely Passage of
Harold and Kate
In the midst of
reading the Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry it came to me that our yearly
journey’s around the world in search of hiking trails that seek to satiate our wildest
dreams, albeit always grand, need something different this year, and thus begins our journey to satisfy God’s
wishes instead of ours. Daily time with God will ensure his will is being done. Thus July 4th is the first day of
our migration into the unknown.
Summer brings a
myriad of literature into our eyes realm, and as my eyes feast on “The Trouble
with Goats and Sheep,” another message is clearly pressed into my heart,
that I am to feed the hungry, give water to the thirsty, invite the needy into our home, and look after the sick and visit those
in prison, all of which has been and continues to be presented to us this season.
When our minds
our open to his command miracles abound daily. Each day I asked my students to
smile at those they don’t know in
the hallway, sheep do as they are told, and come back with mysteries
unexplained, goats simply disobey and never see the wonders of his world, for I
tell them daily, it has nothing to do with me, you will not remember me
tomorrow, yet I pray your journey with Christ is forever.
C.S. Lewis – The Chronicles of
Narnia is also on my list again, and timely as always he too will lead us into
temptation to see the world through his eyes and not our own. Come along with
us, as we begin with a brimming strong cup of coffee out on the back deck just
prior to making our final packing preparations. Hal is scattered with one sprig
of hair resembling Alfalfa, as sleep lures him back into fantasies that can’t
be answered right now, for there are bills to pay, and dancing of the fairies
prior to this ship embarking of its maiden voyage.
