Please, Have Fun! In today's modern world we can easily get caught up in the routines of life. Rather that be work, school, caring for others, or serving in our communities. Getting caught up in these cycles doesn't give much time for play. Entertain me for a second… Remember when you told yourself, “when I get a ‘good job’ I’m going to take big trips somewhere fun?” Now, busy schedules have forced us to put fun at the bottom of our to do list. It's important for every soul to have an outlet - an activity that is simply for enjoyment. Many of us find pleasure in serving in a ministry, but even that requires a level of work, task, and commitment. We should search for task-free and commitment-free activities. Going out to dance is a great example. It is a care free activity and does not require a goal to be met. It requires shutting down the computer, silencing the phone, and not being afraid to break free from the work bubble. Our God allowed everything that He created to take a break. For example, the day breaks and night comes. The heat of Summer breaks and the cool of Autumn follows. Energy fuels our bodies but eventually it runs out, and even we need a break. It is impossible for us to stay healthy in these cycles without the rejuvenation and break that pure FUN brings! John 10:10 says, "The thief comes to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly". So have fun abundantly. There's always going to be life demands, so let's start demanding life - and please have fun!
