“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Friday; June 27, 2008

                                     

           A couple days ago, I heard the 1960 recording of a Boudleaux Bryant song called, “Let’s Think About Livin’”.  In the tune the singer laments all the dyin’ and cryin’ in that day’s modern music – from Marty Robbins showdown in El Paso City to the heartache shared by Cathy’s clowns, the Everly Brothers.   The point to the song is enough about sadness, let’s think about living life to it’s fullest.  Interestingly, the singer, Bob Luman, had a heart attack in his late 30s and died at 41.  I hope he listened to the words of his song.

          When we think about living, do we constantly focus on the heartaches and hard times or are we filled with an excitement for life?  Are we uplifted by our potential do the problems weigh us down?

          If we are struggling with life; let’s set aside a portion of this weekend and spend it with the God who makes life worth living.  Let’s make it a point to lay our burdens on our spiritual altar and bask in the wonder of His glorious presence.  In other words, let’s think about what real livin’ can mean to our lives!

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