Last weekend Barbara and I traveled to Grand Rapids to visit the Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park. The park is filled with beautiful creations, those made by God and those made with human hands. One of the wonders made with human hands was the Japanese Garden. There as a Zig-Zag Bridge at one end of the garden. It was designed to make sure that those crossing it would go slow and turn in many directions, to see the different views.
It made me wonder how we might be on a Zig-Zag Bridge in our journey in life. Might God be asking us to slow down and turn in different directions to have a new view? September is often a very busy month with all many new beginnings. If you feel yourself just running from one thing to the next, then maybe you need to cross a Zig-Zag bridge to slow down and have a new view. God is with us in our journey and like those who have gone before us, sometimes we need to be intentional in our slowing down, in our faith formation, in gaining a new view on things.
