The Journey

What is one thing that begins with unhappiness and ends in unhappiness all for the purpose of somee experience we would call beneficial? Airline travel! Airlines are not in the customer service business in general. They exist to make money. Flying you about is the way they do it. At airports, I rarely see smiling people, much less happy people enjoying themselves. We put up with it all for some other experience that comes between the flying and airports.

Now if I tell you that prayer might begin with some unpleasantness such as giving up your time, or boredom, or sense that you are all alone, you might say no thanks. I can tell you that prayer is going to eventually bring you to a wonderful experience of inner peace, love, fulfillment, why is it that you choose not to travel through the rough spots? Why do you put up with airports and airlines, but have no patience for God? Maybe the next time you are bored or delayed at an airport or stuffed into a seat you might put down your distracting gadget and try prayer. Is not God the final journey?
