Any Trail

13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because [ a ] narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Matthew 7:13-14    The day before Thanksgiving I went for a hike in the foothills at one of my favorite spots. It was a beautiful day and I had a very refreshing time. On the way back out I came to a fork in the trail, both led back to the parking lot and I’d planned on taking the one on which I’d come in. The Lord told me to take the other trail and I agreed for it didn’t really matter as long as it got to the parking lot. I hadn’t walked very far down this trail when I could look ahead and see that the trail ahead was mud. When I was a kid I LOVED mud. I’d play for hours in it in the backyard.  I wouldn’t say I don’t like mud now, but I don’t like cleaning shoes. Oddly enough, I’d been talking to the Lord on this very hike
