SUMMER IS HERE!
June 22, 2010
Hello Everybody!!! It appears that summer is in full force right now. Kids are getting out of school, vacations are starting, and the temperature is getting hotter. I can remember the anticipation of summer when I was growing up and in school. I can remember looking forward to playing baseball all summer and going on vacation with my family….lot of good memories. As we get older, it is funny how things change. Now when I think of summer I just think how hot it is going to be and how crowded it will be on vacation, hahaha. I guess I’m getting old….
I want to challenge myself and everyone else to look forward to this summer with excitement. Thank about all the good things summer brings….. more daylight, more sun tans, more time with friends, more time with your kids, maybe a summer vacation trip, Vacation Bible School, etc…
Take this same Philosophy and compare it to our Christian Lives. When the Lord first saves us we are on “Cloud Nine” for a while and excited about being a witness for the Lord. We want to be in the Church House every chance we get. As time passes on and all the “stuff” of life happens, we can lose a little bit of our anticipation for Heaven. We get more concerned with the temporal hardships of life instead of the Eternal things that really matter.
Keep fighting the good fight off faith, and let your anticipation of Heaven grow stronger and stronger.
May God Bless Your Week!!!
-Matt
