THE TRAVELER by Rev. Carol
BEAUTY THERE by Rev. Carol


I AM a traveler:
I need not fear my journey
for the Lord is my guide
God has prepared a way of much beauty.

As I go, there are many beautiful things That I see; and hear; and touch, and feel:

The warmth of a mother's smile; The colors of a sunrise or sunset or a rainbow;
The feel of a gentle mist of rain upon my face;
The sound of a child's laughter; the touch of a lover's hand.

 And though I walk through some hard times, though I seem to experience pain and separation; the shadow of death;
I seem to know poverty, wars, famine, hatred and crime;

I fear not my journey, for the Lord is with me.
Her power and Her presence comfort me.
Even in the midst of trials, She pours out Her Spirit of Love upon me, and I go in peace.

My cup runs over with His goodness,
and I move in Grace.
I dwell in the Kingdom of Heaven,
and I walk in joy.
And my way is made easy as I press onward
and upward. You see,
I Am A Traveler.

I AM Ancient
In my journey through the ages, I pause awhile here, and here, and there.

While I pause, I learn I have a mighty purpose; a mighty work to do.

My own eternal spirit, God leads me
in the path of prayer;
Down the road of meditation and contemplation, and on through the sounds of silence.

I come to know that His Glory and Her Splendor are in me, and you.
When my work here is over, I move on.  You see
I AM a traveler

This song reminds me;
In all the seasons of your life, in all thy ways, acknowledge God.

  As a Child, I naturally took much delight in discovering the world around me.My wide eyed wonder and pleasure at life is a prayer:

World so big, world so wide; Remarkable to my young eyes; In land and sea and air…

I see Beauty There.

Oh! The joy of finding just the right rock to add to the collection; Just the right color ribbon for my hair; the right answer to the test question just before the bell rings Signaling “time's up”;
Just the right date for the prom. My innocents and freedom and zest for life is a prayer.

  World so grand, world so filled, with all things wonderful that will Supply all needs everywhere…

I see Beauty There.

  This song reminds me: In truth, we, a people, are abundantly provided for; Infinitely loved.  We are complete and sufficient at every moment, Even where we are right now. 

In our forgetfulness we fear. In our imaginings we think the joys and pleasures we experience in the world, Are supplied by the world. 
We forget our delight is really in the Father and the Son, and we bring it with us to the world. 

The world, you see, is a neutral thing; And the beauty that I see, is the beauty that's in me. The world serves as God's perfect plan to call us to remembering.

And this song calls me to remembering.
My recognition, observation, and acceptance of this divine plan is a prayer.

World so secure it could;
be grossly misunderstood;
seeming at times hard to bear:
misperceived in pain and fear;
But judging rightly, not what appears
and looking through, not at the tears

I see Beauty There
