pathway

pathway
Give me my scallop-shell of quiet,
My staff of faith to walk upon,
 My script of joy, immortal diet,
My bottle of salvation.
 My gown of glory, hopes true gauge,
And thus I'll take my pilgrimage.

~Sir Walter Raleigh

 A hiker, walking for pleasure, likes to choose between several alluring trails.
The pilgrim desires only the road that leads home.

This Day's Thought



My life today will be lived in time,
but eternal issues will be concerned in it.
...I, a pilgrim of eternity, stand before Thee,
O eternal One...
Make me wise to see all things today
under the form of eternity,
and make me brave
to face all the changes in my life
which such a vision may entail:
Through the grace of Christ my Savior.
Amen

John Baillie, 1886-1960
