Have you ever been on the road behind a large vehicle that blocks your view and impedes your progress?

I have, and I think it has unnecessarily raised my blood pressure on several occasions. But I’ve learned something over the years.

Some obstacles, and I must stress very firmly the ‘some,’ can be avoided with patience, distance, and just a little bit of planning. Some delays can be prevented when we develop a broader perspective.

By giving ‘big things’ room sometimes we can see better. We can see around them in ways that we cannot when you’re right up on them. Huge impasses become manageable and sometimes avoidable when we give ourselves time and space to move around them.

No, we cannot avoid every obstacle, but we also don’t need to get stuck trying to plow through stuff we may be able to go around if we give ourselves some time and space.

By learning to look down the road a bit, we are not consumed by what’s immediately before us. We realize that we can perhaps even change lanes. Does that make sense?

It may simply be that we need to learn to slow down, and to develop some patience, in order to avoid the frustration caused by the disruptions that life sometimes serves us. We can get where we’re going safely and with less anxiety by giving ourselves just a little extra time and space. Try that out!

Are there some large things looming ahead of you that are obscuring your view and impeding your progress? Give yourself some time and some distance, and you may see that you can get around it, and if you can’t get around it, you can at least make it safely through!

Slow down. Give yourself some time and space. Be patient. You will get where you’re going!

Remember:

The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way…

Psalm 37:23

Good Morning, I love you all!
