Dear Hearts,
Each day life presents us with a choice of two roads. One road is called the road of the advocate; the other...the road of the accuser.
The road of the accuser is well worn and easy to follow. If we choose to travel the road of the accuser we might find ourselves judging another by their outside’s without ever bothering to get to know who they are on the inside.
We might spend part of our day in the throes of gossip or we might be unkind and quick with biting retorts and comebacks. We might find ourselves living completely from our head…not allowing our hearts to open in love, compassion and empathy. The road of the accuser is a road that leads to unhappiness and eventually to spiritual death because it is a dead end road.
The other road that beckons us is the road of the advocate. It is a road lush in its beauty, however it is difficult to tread as this is road is less traveled. If we choose the road of the advocate, we chose to be here for God by supporting goodness, truth and beauty through our words and actions. Along this road, we choose to love and to see the best in others. Along this road, we walk in integrity in our professional and personal lives.
In his poem, "The Road Less Traveled", Robert Frost puts it this way:
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference.”
The advocate’s road is the road less traveled. If we choose this road it will indeed make all the difference…. in the quality of the lives we lead and the legacy we leave behind.
With love and blessings,
Rev. Barbara
