I don't like Labor Day. It's the last hurrah of Summer when many of us do the things that wind up our summer activities. This year we spent the holiday weekend doing some different things than we normally would. Usually we go camping with my parents and extended family, play in a golf tournament with my Dad and uncles at my old church (which we have won several times) and relax.
This year has been different as we stayed home from camping, attended my 25th Class Reunion and worked around the house. (It's a sad day when you have to close up the pool for the year!) Before the day is out I'll be sore yet grateful for a day of physical activity. I don't like the last days of summer activity but I also like what's coming.
I do love the fall and what it brings, activity. As the classes begin around the church and all of the things we do it's an exciting time. Fall brings not only cooler temperatures and splendid color in nature, but it brings opportunity to grow in faith.
As the last official day of summer, it's time to plan for what's next. I know I've got a lot of plans for my own discipleship, the classes I want to teach and prepare, and worship experiences I want to plan and implement.
What's your plan? Disciple Bible Study, The daily Bible reading, this blog, another daily devotional, Pastor's Class, CORE Classes, attending a small group, joining the choir, volunteering in the children's or youth ministry or some other area that needs help? The list goes on, but will remain just a list until you act.
Summer's over. Now's the time. Let's get started.
Peace ><>
