Sharing our Travelling Stories with others & God one day

I know far too well through the years of my travels through 70+ nations the numerous encounters, conversations, and moments that I was eager to share but ended up not being able to share or felt limited in sharing them..  How good this reminder is of the day we will be able to share with our loving God and the host of those who have gone before us (Hebrews 11) all of the moments that we feel no one else knows about...

Henri Nouwen says it so well..

"Travelling - seeing new sights, hearing new music, and meeting new people - is exciting and exhilarating. But when we have no home to return to where someone will ask us, "How was your trip?" we might be less eager to go. Travelling is joyful when we travel with the eyes and ears of those who love us, who want to see our slides and hear our stories.

This is what life is about. It is being sent on a trip by a loving God, who is waiting at home for our return and is eager to watch the slides we took and hear about the friends we made. When we travel with the eyes and ears of the God who sent us, we will see wonderful sights, hear wonderful sounds, meet wonderful people ... and be happy to return home"
