Maps

 Daily Gratitude Year 12 - Day 325: Today, I am grateful for maps.

I love old fashioned maps. Why? I am not sure. Perhaps it is because I grew up with GPS. We used maps and landmarks. Occasionally, a map would need to be replaced because of new roads or road revisions.

Youth today have always had GPS. I am sad that they are missing out on the joy of figuring out a map and finding their way to a desired destination or location. It is a mini-adventure.

I remember an old Muppet movie where Fozzie wanted to "take the blue road" and the others cried out, "That's a river Fozzie." Poor Fozzie was not very map savvy either. 

On a family trip to Florida, our nephew, Rob, made a pirate map for the kids to follow. The cousins had a great time outside running around, looking for whatever treasure was hidden. Study, seek, and find are words that generate adventure. 

"He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to him. Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair, and you will find the right way to go."- Proverbs 2:8-9

A little help finding our way is a blessing.

Today, I am grateful for maps.
