So a couple weeks ago, we are traveling through Louisiana, on our way to VA for some grandparent time. The troops are getting restless and I really have no reason to stop. Gas tank not too low, not time to eat, no one says they need to potty, we were all just kinda tired of being strapped in the seated position.
That's when I spotted it - A small little billboard in the middle of a field. Years of weather had taken away its shine and thrill, but I could still read it. "Next Exit - The World's Largest Gummy Bear" . . . There is it was, our reason to stop. Who could pass up the world's largest gummy bear? What we found was a neatest little candy shop, full of vintage toys, and candy. . . and the world's largest gummy bear - all 6.5 pounds of it! We spent 30 minutes shopping and looking, I reminisced and the kids laughed. We entered the car ready for the next leg of our journey.
You know God does that for you. When the road seems long and you feel trapped in your current position. He has rest stops that allow you see, experience, and learn awesome things. You just have to keep your eye out for the road signs. They are not the big bright flashing ones - those are dangerous. No, they are the small ones set there just for you. To point you to a place and moment you can rest and recharge. Chances are you will get to see and experience something amazing, while you are there.
God's like that . . .AMAZING!
