We can travel in many different ways. The time on the road or at a station/airport has a great value:
1. Be Thankful & Evaluate. What have happened? We are now at Don Muang Airport (Bangkok) looking back on a very good summer in Sweden. We had a lot of rest and inspiration. 2. Pray & Plan. What is laying ahead? We are now preparing to land in Ubon. Much is going to happen immediately.
3. Relax. Sitting and waited at Schipol`s (Amsterdam) airport and now here at Don Muang (Bangkok), I am marveling to see God's great creation. All wonderful people passing by. Everywhere (these days) the world becomes more and more multicultural. And in this "transport-world", everyone follows the rules and behaving very well. For some the Goal is to Travel. For us the Travel is to reach the Goal.
The traveling time is not "a necessary evil". It is a time we can use well. Also, in order to pray for people and nations. Today especially we pray for the Queen that is 82 years old and the whole Thailand celebrating Mother's Day.
And.... even on the road, I can meet both God and man, as Paul did on The Way to Damascus when he met Jesus and got his life's mission.
