The Bridges of Life

Metaphorically close your eyes and picture a bridge. What is it made out of? Wood? Concrete? Is it sturdy or a little shaky? Does it cross over a simple stream or a raging river? Is it long or short? Where does it lead?

Open your eyes. There are so many bridges in the world, just like there are so many bridges in our lives. They could represent trials or the end of one chapter in life and the beginning of another. Sometimes they are easy to cross and we barely have to slow down. Sometimes they are short and it doesn't take long to cross. We can see what awaits us on the other side and we are excited to press forward. Other times, life's bridges can be treacherous and long. Sometimes it seems there is no end in sight and we don't know what lies ahead. When we face these bridges it is important to remember that they do have an end and that we will find safety on the other side.

What are the bridges in your life and how do you cross them?

  1. This is a beautiful post. I'm trying to cross the bridge of healing my foot. I can't see the end, and sometimes I don't think there is an end. But I have to keep going.
