Itchy Feet
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.
