“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Monday; May 26, 2008

 

          Memorial Day is a day during which many people will set aside a portion of today to reflect upon those who have made an impact on their lives.  For some it is a time to remember the sacrifices made by those in the Armed Forces; while others use today as a time to memorialize friends and family who have left this world.

          This year, as we remember people, let’s spend a portion of the day recalling and being thankful for those who were our spiritual mentors.  Was there someone or someone(s) who took us under their wings and helped us to develop our spirit?  If so, let’s take a part of the day to recall their influence in our lives.  Centuries ago, an early Christian writer inspired his readers with the memories of their spiritual forerunners; then noted, “… since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance, and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us …” (Hebrews 12:1).   Who’s cheering us on?

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