Friends, strawberries and hiking.....
What do they have in commen? For us, it's been very special to spend time making memories with friends as we hike through the beautiful country side of Switzerland. In the photo above is our dear friend Anna, who invited us on this hike. During our 4 1/2 hour hike, we walked through various pathways and villages. As we walked along, Anna spotted these little wild strawberries.....what a refreshing little treat from God. As you can see from the pictures above, we began our hike on a nice paved walkway, then it changed into a dirt pathway, later in the day the pathway changed into a very rocky downslope and then we tranversed a farmer field along the way as well. As I have been reflecting back on this particular hike, I thought about how our pathway in life changes, much in the same way. Sometimes, the pathway we are walking is nice and smooth with very little problems along the way. At times our pathway can change becoming increasingly difficult, troubles in our footing for sure. At yet, other times walking along the fields along a smooth dirt pathway ~ filled with the splendor of Gods creation in the glorious beauty in the flowers flowing in the field. Oh, the comfort and the assurance of HIS unfailing love! I am so very comforted knowing Jesus is there along each step of my pathway; leading me, encouraging me, teaching me!
"And surely I am with you always, even unto the very end of the age." Matthew 28:20 NIV
