Where In The World Is Everybody Going?

Sometimes in the summer, one gets those “left-behind” blues. Everybody else is going someplace! Packing up for Florida! Fishing up in Canada, flying over to Hawaii, Alaska, the ocean, Niagara Falls! What a variety of spots to go!

Most of us get vacations, and we have no reason to complain; but I do think of those many persons in our community who are not able to go, go, go! In my Chicago church, there was a lady, so crippled by arthritis, that she could never travel! She never went anywhere! But one day she told me, “I’m going to Mexico next week, and I’m all excited!” I knew better. She was not going, but she did so vicariously through friends. She found out all about the places they planned to stop; she read up on these spots, and she ended up knowing more about the trip than those who went!

In many ways, going to church can be an exciting venture. Or, how about going to visit a neighbor, or making a phone call? Here’s some close-to-home activity. Need some excitement?...go to the library…read a book… read the Bible, and meet the Eternal!

My day can be exciting, because today, I am going to meet the King! Who can out-boast my experiences when I tell my friends I have been walking with, and talking to the Lord of the Universe, the Creator of the world!

No need to have those “stay-at-home” blues! Just get your ticket for today’s gift of life. You can really go places with God! Pleasant traveling!
