 Travel Differently

 

    (The words above are from a homily I had heard during advent in 2011)

 

Whether it is going to church or going on a trip as we have recently returned from, the words above can be something we can continue to strive for.

 

As we are TRAVELING we are PREPARING for our destination whether it is attending a church service at home or a trip as we have just returned from. Once we have arrived at our destination, we WORSHIP. While we are there we also GIVE in different ways depending on the gifts God has given us. In returning home, we hope to TRAVEL DIFFERENTLY. We hope to continue to travel differently in our day to day lives because of what we have learned during our travels.

 

Think of the Magi's travel.  What would have happened if they had not TRAVELED DIFFERENTLY when returning to their home?
