I've been traveling for both work and pleasure. Being absent from my usual haunts and practices, for more than a week, has brought about the following thoughts and concerns.
Time passes and life does continue to go on as usual, when we are not around. I think that could be why it's so hard for us to readjust to our usual at home and work routine. We have to play catch up, when we come back home. We have to, and this may be a strange analogy, insert a couple of missed time clogs into our life wheel.
You'll remember that when a kindergartener arrives home, there is always a, "I'm back....time for life to start again" mentality. A little one never imagines that anything happened while he/she was gone!
But as we age, we know that is not true. And, it's hard for us to get back into the swing of things.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the Scooter Store Ads continued to arrive, the trash didn't get put out, the milk spoiled and the grass grew.
Getting away is a blessing, but the reality is, home is our anchor.
Gracious God. Creator of the Universe. No matter what we do or where we go, your grace and mercy surround us. Allow us to realize that You aren't going anywhere. You are with us through the ages.
