I thought it was either ironic or Providential that I photographed the picture of the “Road to Success” sign while on the way to one of Olivia’s basketball games and then met the gentlemen pictured above on the way home from that same game at a little McDonalds we stopped at to have dinner.
He told me that he had travelled from Missouri, picked up the little dog along the way, and was headed to West Virginia! And he seemed as happy as anyone I’d ever met!
His bike was packed down with everything a person truly needs to survive, and he had a very happy little companion who was actually peacefully napping while I visited with the gentleman.
I couldn’t help but remember the sign I had photographed just an hour before and how different “success” is to different people.
Honestly, I’ve met very successful people in the eyes of the world who didn’t seem as happy as this little sweet man.
Makes me think about where my treasures are and what road I’m really on…..
Matthew 7:13-14
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.4But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!
