What Are You Doing To Have Fun?

What are you doing to have FUN?
What gives you ENJOYMENT?
Do you LAUGH?

Rejoice always,
1 Thessalonian 5:16

This verse is merely a part of a sentence, but I believe it could end with a period instead of a comma. It could be THE statement all by itself. Rejoice always. Rejoice always. I like that.

It’s too easy to become overwhelmed with all of life’s up and downs, stresses, hurts, tragedies, failures. It’s too easy to give up. It’s too easy to walk away. It’s too easy to shut down. It’s too easy to shut out. It’s too easy to mistrust.

Rejoice always.

What are you doing to ENJOY life? What are you doing to have FUN? I believe most people wait too long, allow the stress to build too high, before finally realizing, “I need a vacation.” What would happen if we didn’t wait, if we didn’t allow ourselves to become overwhelmed, but took simple daily steps towards SANITY?

What would happen if we…

Ate well?
Rested?
Exercised?
Played outside with the kids?
Hung out with the neighbor?
Got up?
Got out?
Got involved?

Rejoice always.

What are you waiting for? If you’re looking to FEEL better, don’t wait until tomorrow or next week…you have RIGHT NOW! What needs to change? What do you need to let go? What do you need to start doing? Who do you need to call?

Church, having FUN is essential to a healthy lifestyle (spiritual, emotional, physical, mental). Let’s learn to ENJOY one moment at a time.
