Two Roads Diverged.......


As I was out and about a few days ago I came upon these two paths. It
instantly took me back to the great times of Jr High when I had to
memorize the poem by Robert Frost. As I gazed upon these two paths
leading into the forest the I began recalling these familiar words,
"Two roads diverged in a Yellow Wood and be one traveler long I stood
and looked down one as long as I could..........."  then the final
words of Mr. Robert Frost " And I I took the one less traveled by and
that has made all the difference" I find these  last words hopeful and
yet open ended. The path he took is vaguely described he did not say
the path was easy or difficult, fun or boring, rich or poor, but in
the end it made ALL the difference.




Each of us in our lives come to the cross roads where we must decide
which path to take. We stand before our fate and we as the traveler
may stare down the paths as far as we can but yet we cannot see the
end. We do not know exactly what lies before us, but we do know that
whatever path we choose will made all the difference in our lives.

There is comfort as we face this perplex situation. There is one who
does know what is at the end of the path. He is our Heavenly Father.
He wants the best for us. Although it may not always be easy his path
in the end will be the one that leads us to true joy.  As we live in a
world of shifting values Heavenly Father's path is the one that is
less traveled by. Many take the easy looking path, aimlessly following
the crowd. When we as the traveler make the resolve to follow down the
less traveled path it will make all the difference in our lives. It
may still have it's struggles and hard ships but when we get to the
end of the path we can look back with a smile and reflect on the day
we decided to embark on the journey down the path less traveled by.
The choice is up to you!
