day no. 15,003: trailblazers have more scars, but better stories

Mark 10:29-30
Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, 30 who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life."

If you are the first to hack your way through an untamed landscape, you are bound to receive your fair share of set backs, thorn pricks, thistle burns and blisters. But the stories you receive are worth it. The peculiar joy of blazing trails belongs to those willing to endure difficulties in order to allow others to pass in their footsteps more easily.
