COMING and GOING

Some days I feel as if I "meet myself coming and going!" (an idiom from my Hoptown hometown days)
On a recent road trip to visit family, a food replenishment stop, gave a positive meaning to that saying, 
Location: THE BURGER JOINT, New Boston, Texas
As we were coming in we were greeted with God's Word! What an auspicious beginning for one who was having trouble holding her head up because of pain. (Philippians 4:6-7)
As we had our rr break and waited for our food another "timely" message helped endure the wait. (Colossians 3:15)
More relevant scripture was visible upon our exit---a great "going out" reminder. (Exodus 14:14
Did I mention that whether we were just coming in for refreshment or going out to return to our car, every employee was smiling and helpful!!

As we drove off, my mind was flooded with scripture that would sustain me the rest of this somewhat arduous trip. 
The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore. (Psalm 121:8, emphasis mine)
