A journey
A what point in our lives do we start looking at trials as journeys. If we can leave this important piece behind, we have really given our families a piece of us that no one can take away. Another one of those ahhh moments. We always look for the right moment and hope someone is paying attention. It's like when the man upstairs speaks and we finally pay attention.

I like the idea of viewing a trial as a journey. Most of the time we don't "choose" the trial, but we can choose how to respond to it, and this choice can make the journey meaningful. I know that in watching Dad on his current journey he has taught me more and made me more proud than any of his "successes" as the world wuld view them.

I think it's the last sentence that you hit the nail on the head. Until we are able to embrace the future that is written according to HIS plan and not your plan, can you look at life as a journey that has hills and valleys, but nothing is impossible. It's something I'm still trying to learn. When I hit my head, my doctor asked me if I'd been praying for patience because I was about to get a lesson in patience - more true words were never written. I still struggle to view life through the "journey" lens, but I'm a lot closer to staying on that track than I used to be.
