"Yay we are a year older and a year closer to doing what ever we want." "I wonder what presents i will get!?" Sounds familiar?
It seems when we are younger we are in such a hurry to grow up, then when we get older, we wish our birthday came every 5 years, before we move on to our next age... All being said, it seems it's not just New Years that gives us a reason to make new resolutions of things we want to achieve, goals we want to meet, commitments we want to finally stick too!
My service at church today, held by the most awesome Pastor Eric, at South Valley Community church in Gilroy, was talking about commitment today. And Christian or not, it's really something we all could do with a reminder about.
Life, talents, love...
Are you mature enough to stick to your commitments?
What's talents were you gifted with, and have you made use of them?
There is no such thing as love without commitment, just as a violin cannot be played without it's strings attached. How do you love?
If you sell yourself in anyway to become a millionaire, then who cares much about the money anymore!? Luke 9:25 NEB
Just as God is not interested in the values of your wealth, but in the wealth of your values.
Rich or not where do your values stand?
Are your routes planted firmly in the ground, like a cactus who's roots are planted deep into the ground, and grow fruits even in the hottest of temperatures, or are you like a dandelion blowing away with the wind?
Whether or not we are excited for our birthdays to keep coming each year, our birthdays are an awesome thing, and we are blessed to have one come around each year, so maybe we can challenge ourselves on that next special day, and ask ourselves what commitments have we made, or do we need to make in our lives. Maybe it's time for some new challenges, and commitments. Spice up life a little. Time is precious.
Happy birthday to all you birthday boys and girls.. Make it a special one this year! :)
