Our lives adventure like a ship on the seas

Our lives adventure like a ship on the seas

Like a great sailing ship on the open seas our lives travel along what seems endlessly is really not that very long. During this adventure there are essential tools that we will need to complete the journey. To start the journey we must have a map to help us travel to our destination. For if we don’t have a map we have no direction to go, we flounder and roam and no not where we want to go. So is the same in life, with out goals we have no map to guide us on our journey and we drift aimlessly along. Besides the map we need a compass as we need morals in life to help guide us and keep us on our true course, for with out the compass we have no direction and we will never make our final destination. As a sailing ship some time sail with gods speed, some time our life move along quickly with the the wind at our backs. Other times our lives seems to stand still waiting for the breeze to move us along. As we sail the sea we gain the experience of the great waters, it is the same in our lives, we learn what we can handle and what to avoid as we defeat adversity of rough seas to makes us a better sailor. So it is the same in life as adversity can makes use a stronger person and is just an opportunity to know are possibilities. As we journey along we can only hope to find that port in life that is a safe harbor in the time of rough seas. We now see the shore of our final destiny as the journey is nearing the end, we should take a moment to reflect on all the time we have spent on the open sea. For on the journey of life we have filled our treasure chest with many riches of friends that we have met and memories of places that we have been.
