How many times have you packed your bags, left home,
and realized you had left behind an important item?
I'm sure it's happened to almost all of us.

What items would you want to be sure to take along on
such a challenging journey?
Travel bags are often packed to the brim with clothing,
snacks, and before long, souvenirs. Here are some
additional items that a truly awesome travel bag would
contain...
Memory... to reflect on old stories and collect new
stories from the road—souvenirs that will bring value
for many generations.
Knowledge... of people and their countries, languages,
and ways of life.
Curiosity... to try new customs, share a laugh with a
stranger, ask questions, and make new friends in new
lands.
Vision... to see God's handiwork in the splendor of
each sunrise, and to envision compelling pathways
leading beyond the horizon.
Love... to respect the astounding diversity of life
across our planet and assist fellow travelers along
the way.
Care... to honor our values while respecting the values
of others, and to appreciate each priceless moment with
gratitude.
And be sure to bring lots of...
Spirit... to celebrate life's miracles, understand the
grip of winter's hand in early spring, explore new
pathways with faith, and gather wisdom from every mile
of the journey.
What an astonishing travel bag that would be, and what
a monumental challenge!
