Are you living life to the full?

” I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

These words by Jesus are words every Christian should be living out, yet many aren’t.

Yesterday was my tenth wedding anniversary, and this weekend our boys are staying with Grandma and Grandpa, and my wife and I are enjoying life together for a few days.  As I think back over the past ten years, there have been a lot of fun times and I can say we definitely have lived life to the full because of Jesus.

There have also been times when we (mostly me) have not enjoyed life and lived it to the full.  There is always so much to do, whether with ministry stuff, kids stuff, career stuff, house stuff…  It is easy to get lost in it all and forget to enjoy life.

One of my best friends told me “slow down and enjoy my bride” this weekend.  Those are great words of advice.

Do you need to slow down and celebrate?  Maybe a marriage milestone, a ministry victory, or even just having fun for fun sake.  If you need permission to live life to the full, consider this permission.  You can’t enjoy life when it is going at 100 miles an hour.  Slow down and celebrate!
