Groundhog's Day

February Freebie

“And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?” --Luke 12:25

I was at Camp Calumet these past few days (hence the lack of posts!), and this passage from Luke was used in our closing communion service. The preacher’s main point was that everyday is a gift from God, graciously given, and that in every day we can find that grace and experience that gift—if we take time to let it be.

Worrying may not add time to your life, but the gift of time—leap year—can, and does this year. You’ve got a whole extra 29^th of February to enjoy. Time for family, reading, skiing, or what have you. And lest you tell me that you’re already booked for the 29^th—let me tell you the preacher’s advice: pick any day in February! Make it Sabbath time for you—praise God for it, revel in the glory of God given down-time. Do nothing if you feel like it! It’s okay. Everything else will wait till tomorrow.

As for me—I’m taking advantage of the offer. How bout you?
