Let's Have Some Fun!

It is quiet here. Too quiet. Loudly quiet.

The grandchildren have just left. The toys are picked up.

They are gone....and yet they still remain. Their laughter, their crumbs, their hugs, and, of course, their finger prints all over the glass door, windows and tables all still remain. I am just not quite ready to erase all of their presence yet!!

The snow from the other day also remains. Piles and piles along the roads; and anything that a snow plow or shovel does not get to is covered. I wonder, how long will it remain? How long will it be like a beautiful wonderland? How long before it melts or gets dirty?

There is something miraculous about children and snow. They both can have a tendency to make us act like a kid again!! And, do you know what? That is not all bad!! When was the last time you did something silly? Something loud? Something outlandish? Have we forgotten about having fun?? Have we become so 'spiritual' or 'stiff' or 'stuffy' or 'responsible' that we no longer feel like we are 'allowed' to have fun??

Why not do something fun this weekend? Forget about the housework or the 'to-do' list and take a break!! Go and do something you have really, really wanted to do for a long time (or maybe you just thought of something recently)!! Do something that will make you laugh....or at least smile!!! THEN....share with us what you did!! Some of us have been so 'responsible' for so long we have no idea what is even out there that would be fun!!!

Scripture tells us that David danced before the Lord AND the whole town! I am pretty sure he was having FUN!!! He did not care what anyone else thought. He did not care if he looked silly to them. He was having fun! When was the last time worship was fun for you? Sometimes leadership can take the fun out of worship!! How sad is that???

So, sister.....let's go and have some fun!!!
