Every once a week I take my two girls for a walk to the shop around the corner to go buy Apple Munch. I so much enjoy the walk to the shop and back with them as it gives me time to connect and be together with them, we talk about how there day was, they balance on the stones along the way, chase butterflies, etc.
Until recently Michaela figured out that Ma Cathy (Luceens mom) also has Apple Munch in her fridge. When I wanted to take a walk with them again she said but we don't need to because Ma Cathy has Apple Munch in her fridge.
If only she knew realised it was not so much about the Apple Munch but about the time spent together (the walk), the bond being created.
So many times in our Christian walk with God we forget the goal is not just heaven but enjoying the walk/journey as we live our everyday life. Enjoying the narrow path that eventually leads to eternal life.
