Do you ever get itchy feet? I do. I want to

• Go somewhere
• See new sights
• Travel the world

Itchy feet need to travel.

Ready to hit the trail, my feet want to go to:

• A favorite place
• Off the beaten path to explore the unknown
• A well-known tourist attraction
• The beach
• A friend or relative’s home
• The mountains
• A peaceful place with few people
• A special event with crowds of people
• The desert
• A country road in the middle of nowhere

I love to visit new states. I enjoy the culture of new countries. Occasionally I don’t care where I go. I just want to go.

What causes itchy feet?

Itchy feet have no one cause. Reasons may include:

• Hearing about another person’s travel
• Remembering a favorite place
• Pictures of places never seen
• Certain times of year

Yet, wherever I travel, I always want to return home.

A few days or weeks, and I get homesick. I miss my garden spot of the world with:

• Family
• Neighbors and friends
• House
• Church
• Routine

Perhaps travel’s greatest benefit is learning how much I love home.

Whether home or away, I find life’s greatest joy by following God’s path.

“For the paths of the Lord are true and right.” (Hosea 14:9 TLB).

Where do your itchy feet want to go? Please comment. I may need to add your favorite spot to my bucket list.
