Have you ever had the “I got to have” syndrome? “I need more of this or that and then I’ll be happy” type of thinking. Without a doubt the best things in life are simply the easiest to gain—good friends, a slow walk along a wooded path, and patches of God’s light to dot the way. Nothing is better than these.

One day while having afternoon tea, we decided that this really was the “good life.” “We could live here,” one of us declared. “Chat with friends in the morning. Work a little and then head off for scones and afternoon tea.” Reality, however, always has a way of catching up, and we began to wonder how we would do simple things like pay all the bills that were sure to stack up as a result of our riotous living! (smile)

We also wondered how we would stave off the weight gain that was sure to come as a result of over indulgence.

So, we packed up our misguided dreams and walked down the lane to a store that had both fruit and flowers. There the offerings appeared good for the soul and much better for the “bodies.”

While in Chipping Campdem, I couldn’t help but think of my friend who loves books, especially when I saw this window.

Somewhere down the road there’ll be answers to the questions. Somewhere down the road though we cannot see it now. Somewhere down the road you will find mighty arms reaching for you, and they will hold the answers at the end of the road

A few years ago, Amy Grant wrote these words in a song. I know several people, who are facing uncertainty. They wonder what they will do in the future. Maybe, they find encouragement in knowing they are not alone, there is a solution for every problem they face, and there always is an end to every road we walk.
