Another Crossroad

As we travel along our life's paths we face many crossroads. Do we pause to ponder our decision of which road we take or do we rush through the crossroad? Do we turn or continue on our original course? 

Looking back we know which roads we should have taken. Looking forward our choices are not so easy. Every crossroad leads us to another crossroad. Every choice delivers us eventually to another crossroad.

I'm sorry if your crossroads have led you to disaster and I'm happy if your crossroads have brought you blessings. One thing I am sure of is our crossroads can make us stronger if we use them to carry on. 

When you reach your crossroad, remember you old crossroads, choose the best you can and perhaps your next crossroad will be easy. For when we reach our final destination our crossroads have made us who we are.

G'day Timothy … every crossroad determines our future whether it be the right road or the wrong road we chose. A wise verse indeed Timothy - Lindsay
