Our hope is that we can get away for holiday days today. Sickness has kept us from venturing too far – but today rings with hope anew.
As I look over the years, riding can have many different affects!
As a young child, I tended to get a bit sick on my rides in the car. I liked to sit at the front of a bus. I also found long rides were times to sleep – a thing I did quite often as a young adult with a musical touring group, for a year’s time. Missed a lot of the beautiful countryside of Canada and United States but was able to sing each night.
As a young adult, I enjoyed riding with friends and with my spouse. These were times of banter and deep discussion. There was a true sense of camaraderie and bonds that have lasted for decades. I remember one trip where I was in a persuasive mood. The fellow I was travelling with was wondering if he should marry a young lady he had met. They have been married for over three decades!
I wonder what other findings you have had as you have travelled the roads over the years?
Going on a car trip is such a great time to communicate with each other. An uninterrupted time to meditate too. Great time for long term plan making and really “hearing” each other.
I have had some incredible times with the Lord on short trips and longer trips.
I have also really enjoyed the no agenda kind of trips – just heading out to see what there is to see……sometimes ended up watching wildlife, other times stopping at a spot or place I have never been just for the adventure. I have discovered some incredible places that are on my bucket list to do as often as possible
Enjoy your holiday.
