A departure from Fearless Friday this week… Day after tomorrow our youngest daughter, Maggie will marry the love of her life. It’s a week of celebrating God’s faithfulness. Looking back and praying forward. Our Maggie is an adventure waiting to happen. Someone for whom the world is full of friends she just hasn’t met yet. Her ability to choose life is seen clearly in this post from two years ago…
I never, EVER thought there would be a day in my life when I would accidentally end up in a nudist camp, looking for the Giant Lady’s Leg Sundial in rural Indiana. But that’s exactly what happened.
I just got back from the road trip my daughter Maggie and I took driving a U Haul, moving her to D.C. and stopping at quirky sights along the way.
Our trip included car dancing, U turns, bonding with fellow truckers, and stops like the sundial, a space acorn (we just missed the UFO convention) and a hot dog bun “museum” of sorts. It was a blast. Three days of adventure filled with laughter.
I kept thinking of Deuteronomy 30:19 that reminds us to “choose life!” The life that God has created includes everything from the inspirational, to the sacrificial, to the…FUN!
So…on this Memorial Day weekend I hope each of you find a giant orange moose, or a space acorn, or something that gives you delight!
How are you choosing life today? What are the life-giving relationships, experiences and spiritual practices that bring you joy?
