Inspiration on the Road
My job as a salesman requires that I travel more than 200 days out of the year. As a result, I miss a significant amount of quality time with my family. Although I’ve struggled with the thought of missing my son’s baseball games and my daughter’s dance recitals, I know that my income is helping them to live safe, comfortable lives. Whenever I begin to miss my wife and kids, I turn to the Holy Bible for strength.
There are plenty of biblical parables that remind us about the importance of family, and the simple act of reading helps take my mind off of external matters. Typically I can find a Bible in a motel room’s desk drawer, but I like to carry my own just in case. It’s also good to have a pen and paper handy so that I can take notes on the passages that I find to be especially inspirational.
