"Losing it"
We live in a world where we are taught to get as much as we can. It feels good to gain and it feels bad to lose. So we avoid losing at all costs. But think about it; we come into this world with nothing and we will go out with nothing. So somewhere in between we had better learn to lose some things. Let go of some things. And give some things up. For the Bible says, "There is a time to gain and a time to lose; A time to keep and a time to throw away" (Ecclesiastes 3:6). I think most of us are better at the keeping part. It's the "losing" and the "throwing away" that we need practice in
If anyone knows the power of "Losing it", it's Jesus. He gave up more than anyone, and gained more than anyone. He said, "Whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it" (Matthew 16:25)
This was the theme of our Easter service this year and not only was it amazing, it made me really take a deeper look at my life and re-examine my priorities and what REALLY matters in this life. So ask yourself, what do you have to lose? You'll see that you really have SO much to gain when you do "lose" those things.
On a lighter note:)
We had such a great time this Easter with family and celebrating the resurrection of our Lord!
Paige and Luke definitely made out this year when it came to their Easter baskets. This year I decided I would get them set up for summer.. they each got a swim suit, sunglasses, bubbles, water toys, and then my grandparents and parents each bought some stuff for me to squeeze in there!
