Sunday Praise & Worship Message - Worth the Trip

There is one day every year in our lives that causes us to reflect more on our past experiences and causes us to wonder about the future. We wonder what is in store for us during the course of the year ahead. Many would say that day is New Year’s Day. We often think about the events of the coming year and briefly reflect on the past year. However, for some, the day that causes the most amount of reflection on the past as well as the future is our birthdays.

As we grow older, our minds are consumed with things that happened or should have happened. We reflect on the victories but seem to dwell on the defeats. We think about the future, but fear the coming day. Why is it that we look at the journey we call life and feel that we have not measured up to our dreams and feel that those very dreams that we had when we were children just never became reality. 

If we continue to look at our life as a journey we realize that there will be lows and highs. There will be starts and stops. It is the end of the journey that counts and how we see our lives.
