Often they are not inviting roads. They are not the obvious choices, the easy choices. I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.
Christian faith is the discovery of that difference.
In this story from Matthew, Mary and Joseph are role models. The road that they took led them in a different direction and toward a different country. Faithful to the dream, they listened and followed that road. All of us have our dreams our visions of the road that we would like to walk. We have our plans.
