Enjoying Life

It's amazing how quickly time can get away from you. I haven't posted in over three months and over that course of time, so much has happened.

We celebrated Christmas. We welcomed a New Year! LFF has celebrated salvations, baptisms and babies born. We have purchased a new building and discussed a new addition to the existing one. Things change rapidly, but as they do, don't forget to breathe!

Jesus said in John 10:10 that He came to give us life and life abundantly! Life is a precious gift. Let me encourage you to not take it for granted. It is easy to busy ourselves with so many things, but take the time to stop (or at least, slow down) and enjoy it along the way. Take time to walk with God in the cool of the day. Take time to play with your kids. Take time to enjoy the company of your spouse. Enjoy a meal. Go window shopping with no intentions to buy. Play a round of golf. Take the moment to enjoy a cup of coffee. Sit on the porch swing. Read a good book. We all need those moments. When we make a conscience choice to enjoy what God has given us, it only fuels us for the tasks and responsibilities that are uniquely ours. It energizes us to press on.

Enjoy your life today! Jesus would want you too!
