Three Wooden Crosses

A few years ago Randy Travis sang a song about three wooden crosses along the side of the highway. The song told the story about the lives represented by those three crosses. As I drove home the other day, I too saw several crosses marking the end of life. I thought about the people whose lives were represented by those crosses as well. For them, that particular trip down the interstate was the end of the journey. I take arriving safely each time I travel for granted. There are no guarantees. Each trip could represent my last.

As I thought about that I had to ask what would that cross remind people about me. Would it be something that matters or just another cross? I have avoided referencing my faith in this blog, but now is the time for complete honesty. The cross on the side of the highway would matter because of the cross of Calvary. My journey is made easier because of the one who led the way. Each time I see the cross I am reminded of His journey for me. I am encouraged, and am reminded how safe my eternal travel will be thanks to Him.
