Towing a Trailer
Over the years I have owned and towed a number of trailers,
starting with a fold down, soft-top camper, then graduating to a fold down,
fibreglass-top camper, then moving up to a fold down, hard-top camper.
Eventually I acquired a real (albeit it small, as in tiny) hard side house
trailer complete with washroom, electricity, and stove. In addition I have
owned several boat trailers over the years. I have towed said trailers from Newfoundland to British
Columbia. I have learned several things—they can be
dangerous, and they can be a strain on your vehicle, they definitely slow you
down, but they can also be fun.
In life we sometimes hear people referring to the baggage
that they drag with them. Like a trailer, they are referring to the things that
are behind them. Tennyson in his poem Ulysses wrote, “I am a part of all that I
have met.” Every person we’ve met and every experience we’ve had has added to
who we are. Some have put a strain on our life. Some have slowed us down or
even stopped us in our tracks. Some have added much pleasure to our life.
Wisdom is knowing what to hitch to our lives to make the journey more complete.
Joshua 18:6
“Go in peace. Your journey
has the Lord’s approval.”
