I do it all the time!
The other day in fact, I was remembering pranks I used to play on my sister with my little brother (sorry Devan 😁)
Then I thought back to my first crush, the first time I said "I love you" to someone, the first time I met my husband, etc.
So many happy memories! Obviously there are going to be some not-so-happy ones too, but we won't discuss those now;)
Those sweet memories made me think even more ...
Remember that time when being at church meant more than just being somewhere? Remember the time when you were so excited to get that phone call that you were needed to help out with an event? What about that time when you were asked to substitute in Sunday School the first time?
Remember when you didn't have to remember those feelings?
I don't want to lose the excitement about church, teaching others, and ministering! That "cloud nine" sense of accomplishment that I felt after every lesson had been taught. Am I so busy that I've forgotten what it feels like to give of myself? Has it just become routine, habit?
Whew... Lord, help me!
I've done some serious thinking over the past few days. Yes, everyone needs a break. I understand that. But what we need to understand is that serving God should never be a burden! I love to work for His kingdom sake. Do I get tired? Oh yeah. Burnt out? Lots! But will I ever give up? Never. God has been so good to me!
So, remember that time you decided to keep on pushing? Remember the time you thought back to all the blessings God has given you? What about the time you accomplished greater things than you ever imagined?
Oh yeah, that was today. That, was now.
Happy Thursday!
