On The Road to NOWHERE...

Do you ever feel that today is just like yesterday which is just like the day before? EEK...life really can be like the movie "Groundhogs day".
Now that our kids are in school all day everyday sometimes I wonder what do I really exist for?
Daily being in the word is a GREAT place to start your day!
When you feel that you have nothing to offer and cross paths with very few people let me remind you of a parable:

Passage Luke 10:30-35 (NLT from Bible.com)
Parable of the Good Samaritan

30 Jesus replied with a story: “A Jewish man was traveling on a trip from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he was attacked by bandits. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and left him half dead beside the road.

31 “By chance a priest came along. But when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by. 32 A Temple assistant walked over and looked at him lying there, but he also passed by on the other side.

33 “Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him. 34 Going over to him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him. 35 The next day he handed the innkeeper two silver coins, telling him, ‘Take care of this man. If his bill runs higher than this, I’ll pay you the next time I’m here.’

The Samaritan was on the road to wherever and whatever he had planned for the day, yet he allowed God to use him to help someone.

Our days are numbered like the hairs on our head, don't waste a day. What are you doing today? Where are you going? Whose path will you cross? Be Jesus to them!
