Catch Up and Must Do

This week we've spent some time talking about LIFE and BREATH and DEATH. There's something so encouraging about NEW LIFE!!! Join me over a quick burger for a few Must Do's!

Recently, as we've looked at the last part of our memory verse, we see what God has to say about how to bring true LIFE via the WORD OF LIFE to others:

• DO EVERYTHING WITHOUT COMPLAINING AND ARGUING!

Sounds hard... but it's not an option... it's a command!

There's something about this time of year that brings out the best and the worst in people. As spring arrives, we're so excited for the sunshine and warmth, yet, are we excited for the rainy days, too? It's the balance of sunshine and rain that brings the NEW LIFE of spring! May this balance teach us that God always keeps His promises!

The wonder of a new baby... NEW LIFE... brings NEW LIFE to old bones. We have many in our family who have been born at this time of year. My brothers and Crystal's birthdays are next week. Jordan and Chloe's birthdays are the next week. Here is my mom yesterday, in awe of her great-grandson Clayton. My sister-in-love, Sandi wrote, "As soon as she saw him, she started smiling and she didn't stop. I let her hold him for about 10 minutes. She couldn't take her eyes off of him! It was so sweet :)."

Just this morning, I got an email with a link. Here's what the email said:

.

"You know, sometimes life just gets too serious...too busy...and too complicated. We don't mean for it to happen, but we wake up one morning to discover the fun has slipped away. A few years ago a health study determined there are 3 main reasons people can't cope in life:

• They live in the past.
• They have a low self-esteem.
• They can't laugh at themselves.
  

In fact, the study indicated that we need approximately 12 laughs a day to stay healthy!"

.

As the email continued, I thought of other "Simple Truths" about LIFE! This led me to think of the ONE SIMPLE TRUTH who can take care of living in the past, low self esteem, and taking ourselves less seriously. John 14:6 says,

.

Jesus answered,

"I am the Way

and the Truth

and THE LIFE.

No one comes to the Father

except through Me."

.

.

What I've found so simple about LIFE is that if it is something that works and gives meaningful LIFE, then it has already been talked about in scripture.

.

The email I received linked me to a video that I chose not to share with you, but it reminded me of one that I will share with you. (I concur with it all except for the language use on the last line).

.

I pray that something this week has given you time to reflect on your LIFE and given you encouragement to LIVE more each new day in the simple truth of the ONE WHO GIVES LIFE!!!
