As life happens, we get caught up in it, and we trying our hardest to stay on schedule with rutine of life.
Pay my bills on time
make dinner
go to work
go to sleep
go back to work
come home make dinner
pay my second round of bills
Need I go on?
Then there is the way of thinking...
No time for fun
must work
no smiling
stop playing around
not for me...thats for kids
you just go without me...I'll stay behind
WAKE UP...and smell the JOY
Wherever you are or whatever you're doing there is always an opportunity to find JOY and to have fun. Yes there are down times... that is life...but don't forget the good times too.
Confessions of a Grown-Up:
I love to watch cartoons
I love to push the buttons on the talking books when I walk down the toy ilse in the stores
I own a coloring book and yes I color in it... why not?
Whats your confession?
It's OK to be a KID
Jesus describes in Mark 10: 13-16 about the characteristics of children and how we should come to Him with a childlike faith.
Just the other day I pulled out Prince of Egypt and watched it. Instead of trying to analyze it, I allowed my thinking to be in awe of the fact that God did mighty things in Egypt and it was no fairytale...it was REAL. You can find such joy just setting your mind on these kinds of things.
For You and Me: Drive this idea home to the heart. What are some ways you can put your grown up ways aside and be like a child sitting in the Savior's lap, listening to His stories?
I love to sing "Sunday School" songs... especially with Bob and Larry :) When I sing to those songs I feel like Jesus is smiling and laughing and clapping his hands in Joy. Oh, and I love to color too :) And I love to sit around kids and read to them.
