Jackie and I stopped just to watch the kids sledding down the hill. It was so much fun! It brought back a lifetime of memories of tobogganing when we were kids. We didn’t have water-proof clothes but we did have dawn to dusk laughing, wrecks, hot chocolate, snow ball fights and flying through the air. Pretty soon a bunch of cars pulled up to us next to the theatres in Monroe to watch the kids playing in the snow. A couple of boys didn’t have an inner tube or anything to slide on. They would run until they fell to their knees and would continue to slide until they would fall face down then slide as fast as they could on their bellies. Their laughter just warmed the day. As we watched more and more cars lined up next to us and we were all enjoying this great sight.
When life is lived in such an exemplary way as kids playing on a snowy hill people stop and watch. The joy, adventure and the simple authenticity of that moment are really spectacular. What if we lived 2022 in the same way and people had to notice. Never stop dreaming. Get out of your car and climb the snowy high ground to really live. Let’s never stop dreaming. We are beginning a new revitalizing series entitled Keep on Dreaming so we can recapture the imagination, fun and adventure of our lives. Just like the kids on a snowy hill in Monroe on Christmas break let's keep on living life with all the fullness that God designed us for. Let me share with you this week from Genesis from the story of Joseph so that we can keep on dreaming.
I’m praying that your life will be so full of life, fun and exciting faith that it will make the world stop and watch.
Join us this Sunday at 10:30am (In-person in the Sanctuary, or on-line with Facebook Live, You Tube or the Church Apps) as I begin a new series entitled Keep on Dreaming. You really need to be there as we begin this new series. It will refresh your life and you won’t be disappointed!
Your friend always.
