Each day – and season – offers unique challenges and opportunities. Often, we make our decisions based on our circumstances and what we see or experience.

As a truck driver, I don’t enjoy driving on snow-covered or icy roads. Yet, after they’ve been treated with grit, salt or gravel, many of these rural routes become passable. Needless to say, I’m thankful for anything that can give me some traction.

How often do you and I experience something that we don’t enjoy – a route that we find difficult to travel? In all things, aren’t there things to be grateful for?

Whether it’s on a snow-covered road, or through some difficult situation, we can be confident that we don’t have to travel alone. The One who created each individual is always there ready to go with you and me. All we have to do is to invite Him to walk with us.

Even in the cold of winter, there are many occasions to appreciate the landscape. Let’s choose to not travel it alone.

Have a great day! 😀
