Om ulike veier til målet...et barn!

Fikk dette på mail ikveld og syntes det passet å dele med dere her inne. Jeg kjenner meg ihvertfall igjen:-)

Deciding to have a baby is like planning a trip to a beautiful and exotic Island. You’ve heard it’s a wonderful place, you’ve read many guidebooks and feel certain you’re ready to go. Everyone you know has travelled there by plane. They say it can be a turbulent flight with occasional rough landings, but you can look forward to being pampered on the trip.

So you go to the airport and ask the ticket agent for a ticket to the Island. All around you, excited people are boarding planes for this wonderful place. It seems there is no seat for you; you’ll have to wait for the next flight. Impatient, but anticipating a fantastic trip, you wait...and wait..and wait.

After a long time the ticket agent tells you, "I’m sorry, we’re not going to be able to get you on a plane to the Island. Perhaps you should think about going by boat!"

"BY BOAT!" you say. "Going by boat will take a very long time and it costs a great deal of money." So you go home and think about not going to the Island at all. But you have long dreamed of this amazing place, and finally you decide to go by boat.

It is a long trip, many months over many rough seas. Meanwhile, your friends have flown back and forth to the Island two or three more times, marvelling about each trip.

Then one glorious day, the boat docks on the Island. It is more exquisite than you ever imagined, and the beauty is magnified by your long days at sea. You have made many wonderful friends during your voyage, and you find yourself comparing stories with others who have also travelled by sea rather than by air.

You will always wonder what it would have been like to fly to the Island. Still, you know God has blessed you with a special appreciation of this place, and the beauty of this Island is not the way you get there, but in the place itself.

Hei, strom!

Jeg har dessverre ikke teksten ferdig oversatt til norsk. Men hvis du gjerne ville hatt den på norsk, kan jeg alltids forsøke meg på en oversettelse. Mail meg på [email protected] dersom du er interessert.
