“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Thursday; January 10, 2008

 

          Do we allow life to get in the way of living?  This may sound a bit cryptic; but, when we ponder it, how often do we forget to enjoy living the lives we have been given because we are too busy handling all the things occupying our lives?  We don’t marvel at the sunrise because we are rushing around filling toasters with frozen waffles and lunch boxes with peanut butter sandwiches.  We don’t enjoy the sunset because we are running children from one practice to the next rehearsal.  We miss out on living the good life because we have laundry that needs to be done, bills that need to be paid and walks that need to be shoveled.

          Now, we aren’t advocating that people should become irresponsible and forego commitments; but, maybe it’s time that we slowed down and took control over the day-to-day constraints of life.  Let’s make it a point to smile more, visit different places and just sit around and talk to each other.  Life was created by God to hold a wealth of abundance, are we taking advantage of every bit of it we have been given?

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
