Friday, December 12: Knowing our Destination
Today I went to work to see my boss and co-workers. I feel so blessed that after only 6 months with a company I have a team that cares so much about me. Today I realized that it feels that I have worked with Kimberly-Clark for a lot longer to have such a relationship with my co-workers already.
I was greeted with hugs and kind words. And, such a feeling that everyone just cares about my recovery, not when I am returning to work.
It was such a wonderful feeling, and says alot about the company and people who work there. I feel very blessed to be part of this team and this organization.
As my boss and I were talking, I mentioned that without having a faith in Christ, I am not sure how I would have made it through this situation and all of the news I have recieved. He said to me, "The peace comes from knowing the destination even though we don't know all of the plans or the journey that will get us there.
That is just what is reassuring to know."
As I was driving home, I thought about this some more. And, it made me think of those motivational statements are so popular. I thought of this one that was so popular, "Destiny: Life's a journey, not a destination." Do you all remember these?
As I thought about this some more, I thought yes, life is a journey.
But, it makes me sad if you don't know the destination.
Life with Christ is all about the Destination, and the journey is his to give us.
Yes, I think we should take the time to enjoy moments in our life. We should be proud of milestones and achievements of our lives, of our kids lives. But, I can't imagine not knowing and not focusing on the destination. Without knowing the destination, I am not sure how I would have gotten through the past 20 months! Knowing the destination is what gives me hope and purpose and contentment.
The destination is what I live for.
To know my destination gives me purpose. To live with Christ, to live Christ-like and to live for Christ.
So, I would say, "Destiny: Life's a journey, BUT it's all about the DESTINATION.
Love, Claudine
