“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Friday; October 17, 2008

          When I hear the phrase “inner child” I immediately cringe and await some pop psychologist’s description of why we are so messed up.  A few years ago, someone coined this phrase to explain why we were what we were; yet, I would like to borrow it for a challenge.

          What do we do when our “inner child” wants to come out and play?  I understand that life can be (and should be) serious business – after all, eternity is riding on what we choose to do – but, every so often, we need to release the child in our lives and go out and have fun.  Now, I’m not advocating pursing debaucherous living, I’m saying that periodically we need to take off our emotional business suits and put on our play clothes.  The Bible reminds us of our need to play when it notes, “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.” (Proverbs 17:22) 

          Let’s work hard; but, let’s also take some time for some good ol’ wholesome play.  Not only will it let us have some fun, it will also help us work even better.

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