Ponder the Path of Your Feet: A Journey of Intentional Living In the hustle and bustle of life, it’s easy to get caught up in the daily grind, moving from one task to the next without much thought about the direction we're heading. Yet, there's a profound wisdom in pausing to "ponder the path of your feet."
