I snapped a pic of her luggage which she hoped was not over the weight requirements as it carried her life belongings back over the ocean to Germany. We will miss her. But that's part of the journey isn't it?
Life is full of journeys - we take them all the time, every day in fact. They consist of beginnings and endings; you begin a new experience or meet new people and then comes the end of the journey and you have to say goodbye. They can be full of adventure or you might wish you could turn around and had never walked out your front door!
Some journeys are planned, some are not. A sudden life illness or change will send you on an journey you had not expected to be taking. And all journeys, planned or not, exciting or dreaded, all have a measure of uncomfortableness to them. Bumps in the road.
Think of the Easter story - now there's a journey! Christ agreed to walk the road of self denial, carry the burden of our sins on the cross knowing it would lead to pain and death. He had a last supper with his friends, said his goodbyes and resolutely, without a word of complaint started down the dark path. But this uncomfortable journey took a surprise turn. He rose victorious!
Every day is a journey with a beginning and an ending. There will be hellos, goodbyes, new adventures, bumps in the road.
I wish you all a Bon Voyage!
