Notes about the Driver

 Notes about the Driver

As stated earlier, the Driver is God’s special messenger.  Of the parts of the Holy Trinity, we seem to lack understanding of the Holy Spirit and what his work is all about…..or let’s say….at least we know him “on the surface” but are not sure he really checks on each of us.  Thus, God sent him to spend this important time on the journey.  Hopefully, when we return home, our doubts will have changed.
  
The Driver was given an itinerary and some specific goals for the trip: 
 

• ·         Watch and listen to all of the passengers.

• ·         Design the activities on the trip to build a deeper appreciation for My Creation---people, places, prayer---we    call those the three Ps.

• ·         Gather the group together for meals for it is in breaking bread together that we can become more intimate in our understanding of others. 

• ·         Every evening have a prayer time where people share what they enjoyed about the day and ask questions they might have.  Be sure to connect the value of building community as My Son did in His human journey.  It helps the group to know they are valued by others.

• ·         Always remind them that they were created with a specific purpose in their earthly life as they prepare for their eternal life.  It’s not just about now.

• ·         Hand-out Divine message cards each morning.  You know who the passengers are and what messages they need to receive each day on the journey.  It might be as simple as “Do not be afraid.”

• ·         Be sure the passengers know that you welcome time with them.  They just need to invite you.
