Detours

I was searching through my Bible this morning and found a comic strip stuck in the pages that a very dear friend mailed to me a year ago when I was going through a difficult time. It is so profound for my life right now:

"Along our path of life we get a series of detours and we all get frustrated and impatient when we feel we have to leave the path we've chosen. But what if the real path of life is really made up of all these detours and instead of learning the real lessons of life, we miss them because we were too busy being frustrated and impatient!"

Good point...
