Greetings Dear Reader,
Traveling implies movement.
We are on a journey and we travel together for a day, a moment, or a
lifetime. What matters is not what we
carry or the speed at which we travel. What
matters is how we treat each other along the journey.
Instead of treating each other with love and respect, we lie,
harm, and avoid each other. We stand
where our hurts and offenses have stopped us instead of walking together. We become cemented into ways of thinking and acting
that reject those who would travel with us.
This is what destroys friendships and families.
My Grandfather used to often say, “You do what you believe. Everything else is just talk.” He would also remind me when I would boast
about what I was going to do, “Well you have the talking part done.”
When we fail to do right by those around us we stop
traveling with them. We put them in doubt
of our value of them as fellow travelers.
I fail to travel “with” someone when I do not show him or her the love,
loyalty, and kindness I am obligated to show.
I stand in my own opinions when I should be walking with someone;
listening and caring.
When we fail to care for each other we collect baggage that
slows us down or even stops us altogether.
If we truly believe that we are meant to travel together and care for
each other, then we must do so. We must
be walking and not just standing. We are
fettered to the future and, therefore, cannot afford to stand in the prison of
the past.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
