“Destination”

I wonder how many remember the days when everyone had at least one of those folding  maps from the oil companies.  Many cars now come with built-in navigation systems because staying on course is important. We tend to set many goals and courses to follow in life. We do it for school, work, family, finances, vacations and more. However; when it comes to the spiritual direction of our lives most people just drift with the waves and wind. You can stay on course if you look up. Before all modern navigational aids, ancient mariners and travelers took their bearings from a formation of starts called The Northern Cross in the constellation of Cygnus. Now is a perfect time to “look up” and confirm that we are on the correct course. This is a perfect time of the year to look up to the heavens and ponder the magnificent creation of which we are a very small part. Elevate your own heart felt prayers and ask for direction so that you can reach your God intended destination. Listen carefully and follow the instructions with a trusting spirit while you enjoy the journey!
