Whenever you're away on vacation or business, you look for things that remind you of home. It just works that way. It grounds you and lets you know that even though this is a new experience fraught with uncertainty, life is still stable and will go on as usual.Obviously Starbucks does that for me...
There's just something about seeing that circular logo with the familiar green words that sets my mind at ease. Anxieties cease and a sense of calm sets in.
Actually, that's pretty sad. But think about it. What it is it for you? What satisfies you during periods of stress, pain or uncertainty? Is it a beverage? Maybe a store or restaurant? Maybe it's a TV show or phone conversation with someone you love.
Better than all of the above (obviously) is the calm, stability, serenity and peace that can be found in time alone with the Creator. A verse out of the Bible, a quick prayer or a simply allowing you're mind to focus on the goodness of our God. Nothing compares to that.
