Enjoy Life!

Take some time to enjoy Life!

Moments ago I booked some plane tickets for a girls' trip that I will be taking in a couple of months. I'm so excited to get away, chill, and relax! It's going to be so fun.

Life has a way of running us over and dictating to us what we need to do at times. We plan our days only to have Life pop up and tell us that we need to reajust our schedules. We think that we'll be able to sit and rest, only to have Life point out six more things that we forgot to attend to.

Ain't Life grand?

As we roll with the hustle and bustle of Life, we still have to take ownership of our lives and take time to enjoy it. Everything doesn't have to be done right now. Some items on the checklist won't wreak havoc if they remain unchecked. It's okay to take a break and just sit... and be... for no reason at all.

Like the woman in the Bible who entertained Jesus in her home, I consider myself to be a "Martha". (Luke 10:38-42) She was so caught up in the details that arose from having Jesus in her house, that she missed the revelation that JESUS was in her house! Who needs to arrange meat platters when Jesus is holding court in your living room?

Like her, I often am so busy about making sure everything is getting done that I sometimes miss out on genuine moments where I could have been ministered to, experienced rest, or had some enjoyment. It is imperative that we heed the voice of Jesus and recognize when we need to be still. We can't get so caught up in the business of Life that we miss out on enjoying Life.

Make sure you take some time today to savor the world around you. Keep your eyes and ears open, so you don't miss out if a genuine moment arises. We're alive! Let's make sure we enjoy it...

Verse of the Day: But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:41, 42 (NLT)
