Cobblestone Streets

Oxford, England

Life is walked along cobblestone streets sometimes because, well, have you ever walked on cobblestone streets? It's difficult, uneven, precarious if you aren't paying attention. Yet the street is beautiful, remarkable. You appreciate the historical path many others have walked before you. You start to think about who may have walked here and what the town was like hundreds of years ago. And as you appreciate the history, you notice the town around you and how modern society is taking part in this place of significant history. Like the streets, our lives are beautiful but uneven.

Life is difficult, we wobble along our path, sometimes when we don't pay attention we slip, or our foot hits a crack in the road. But somehow overall, it is a beautiful thing. Life, that is. And that difficult path brings us closer to even greater things. It just may take a little time along those cobblestone streets.

In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world. - John 16.33
