This week is for adventure. The adventure of mom putting her first child on the bus. The adventure of setting the alarm and getting up for class in a far away state, in a shared room, and with no one to tell you to get out of bed. The adventure of remembering the years of driven by school schedule even though the years you have lived alone are now double the amount of years the children were in school.
While this week may not at first sound like an adventure, an adventure is not only thrilling and interesting. An adventure takes us out of our comfort zones. An adventure stretches us. An adventure is to unfamiliar territory and we don't know if we like it until we arrive. If its fun, great! If its uncomfortable, we find ways to live through the discomfort until we move onto another place. An adventure always brings us close to our inner lives, both the life with God and the life God calls us to live.
A Blessing for this week of adventure from Celtic Daily Prayer,
May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you,
wherever He may send you.
May He guide you through the wilderness,
protect you from the storm.
May he bring you home rejoicing
at the wonders he has shown you.
May He bring you home rejoicing
once again into our doors.
Reflecting on the every day, practical dimensions of faith. Practices to shape our lives each day as followers of Christ. Stories to share our practical experiences of wisdom, faith, hope, and love.
