Happy Thanksgiving! Unfortunately many times the Holidays bring stress. You may be under a lot of stress right now because of the time of year or the economy, or maybe something else, but God still wants you to enjoy life.
He doesn't want you to live without fun. The apostle Matthew spent three years with Jesus and he wrote, "[Jesus] came, enjoying life" (Matthew 11:19 PH).
Many people don't have fun in life because they are trying to live up to someone else's expectations. You and I can have fun in life because we are secure within God's love. God loves you just as you are! He accepts you as you are! Be yourself and enjoy what you have in this life.
Unfortunately, there are many people who do not want to let God into their lives because they fear God will make them give up anything that is fun. In other words, they think that to become a believer is the same as saying the party's over, that to be spiritual is to be miserable.
People are frantically looking for fun fixes, but that means they operate under the law of diminishing returns. They spend more time, more money, and more energy to get less and less of a thrill. They go around asking, "Are we having fun yet?"
The scripture says God "richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment" (1 Timothy 6:17b NIV). God wants you and I to enjoy life!
Even if things may be a little stressful right now, kick off your shoes and remember to take some time out this season to appreciate the people in your life and have fun.
