The Crossroads of Adventure

Here we are at a crossroads of life. Move forward into the joy that awaits or stagnate. Of course, we move forward. Adventure is what life brings. Sorrows and joys. Aging but still youthful. Forward is the only way to travel. There is no great divide. No fence. Only wide open opportunity.

So, we were once young and now do we call ourselves old? I say not. Others see differently. But we see the image of what was transformed into what is and call it wonderful and a thing of beauty. We see ourselves young. And youth moves on...

Toward what? Where? Those are the questions of any age. 

So here is a maxim to live by:

"Since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, that us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."           Hebrews 12:1

Dare we do any less. Youth strives and perseveres. Ageless wonders, such as we, know to keep on keeping on through all that youth has yet to encounter. Age has the advantage of gained wisdom. Let us not lose sight of the goal. Nor should we ever give up the joy. Give up? Who would dare such a thing and yet go on living! Not us. The moment is always at hand to have an adventure and see the unmarked road. 

So, the saga continues and we go on. The end is never known, but the journey is the adventure and joy. “There but for the joy set before Him...” Wonderful words in spite of the pain. Looking to the end result. We never know the way but we know who does and so we go on.
