Have you ever tried to balance yourself? On Saturday, we had a great time at Lake Gaston with my family. (Actually it is Diane's family, but after well over 40 years nobody knows the difference. We are all family) Someone had something that I had never seen. It was a board, somewhat like a surf board, but much larger. The idea was to stand on the board with oar in hand and paddle along the water. I discovered that it was much harder than it looked. If perfect balance was not practiced, the person surely fell. I really enjoyed watching the adults try to master the board.
I had a great time on Saturday. Besides watching the adults attempt the board, watching the little ones play in the water was entertaining and relaxing. Being outside near the water with people that I love was good. I didn't spend a lot of time thinking about my health, or about my schedule, or any of those type of issues. I don't take the time to do that very often. It was refreshing.
On Sunday, I think that I witnessed more people hungry for God than I have ever witnessed. The altar at GC was filled. As people got up, more people came until it was filled again. It was indeed a special time of fellowship with our Lord. Being in the worship service was spiritually refreshing.
For me, the combination of Saturday and Sunday was an example of balance. How are you doing with balance in your life?
