I LOVE that. So true.
We call detours and getting lost "taking the scenic route". Might as well enjoy them!
Re: enjoying the scenery on a detour that reminds me of a sermon I once heard called “Dwell with understanding”..A husband and wife are on a trip. He wants to make it to Phoenix before sundown with no potty breaks or stops. She wants to stop and look at the worlds largest jack rabbit on the way there. hehehehe! All married couples can identify with this. They go to the mall. The husband is hunting for the item. The wife wants to look at rings. The husband says “Why do you want to look at rings? You got a ring. I got a ring. Why are we looking at rings?” So..the minister said next time you are at the mall guys, stop and look at the rings. When on a trip, stop and give the kids a potty break and look at the worlds largest jack rabbit. Sooo funny.
