And I like to start 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.400 with something funny. And I heard about this man. Somebody 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.080 had stolen his wife's credit card, and a couple of 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.600 months later, the company called him and said, sir, we've 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.919 got good news. We found the credit card. Without missing 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.160 a beat, he said, tell the thief to keep it. 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:33.280 He spends less than my wife. All right, hold up 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.960 your Bible. Say it like you mean it. This is 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:39.040 my Bible. I am what it says I am. I 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.480 have what it says I have. I can do what 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.200 it says I can do. Today I will be taught 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:48.320 the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.640 my heart is receptive. I will never be the same. 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:56.079 In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk 0:02:56.120 --> 0:03:00.600 to you today about enjoying the journey. Life is not 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.799 really about the destination. It's about how we. 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:05.080 Live all along the way. 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:09.080 And it's easy to become so goal oriented and so 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:13.280 focused on our dreams that we overlook the simple things 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.399 that we should be enjoying. But we have to realize 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:20.200 life is a journey. There's no such thing as the 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:24.280 finish line. Once you accomplish this dream, God will give 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.120 you another dream when you overcome this challenge. 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:28.480 There'll be another challenge. 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:32.359 There's always another mountain to climb, And if we make 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:36.400 the mistake of just living for the destination, we'll look 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.600 up one day and realize we've missed out on the 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:41.240 biggest part of life. 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.160 Because most of life is routine. 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.000 Most of us get up every morning, go to work, 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.280 come home, eat dinner, go to. 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:50.400 Bed, and do it again. 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:55.400 There are very few mountaintops where you graduate from school, 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:56.640 or you get married, or. 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.160 Have a child, or go on vacation. 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.840 The high times are few and far between, but many 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:06.640 people are living for the mountaintops. They're so focused on 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.920 their promotion that they work night and day. 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.160 They don't really enjoy their family. 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:17.000 They're so stressed raising their children, they don't enjoy their children. 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.400 They're so caught up in getting out of a problem. 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.200 Their life goes by in a blur. We've got to 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.599 slow down and learn to enjoy the journey. This is 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.560 what I had to do before I was married. I 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.279 used to travel overseas with my father a couple of 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.239 times a year, and I lived for those big trips. 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:35.480 I couldn't wait. 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:39.599 I counted down the months, the weeks, hurried through the days, 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.559 trying to get to that trip. When one trip was over, 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:46.120 I'd immediately start looking forward to the next trip. One 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.479 day I realized, I'm hurrying through life, just trying to 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:52.240 get to my big events. And of course, it's good 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.440 to have things to look forward to. It's good to 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:57.200 have goals in front of you, but don't put your 0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:01.120 life on hold until that happens. Joy all along the 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:05.120 way I heard Dion Sanders talking. He was a star 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:08.559 football player and his dream was to win the Super Bowl. 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:12.000 That's what he wanted more than anything else. He trained 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:16.280 and trained year after year, working tirelessly. One day his 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.640 dream came to pass. He won the Super Bowl. 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.359 He told that night. When he went home after the 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:26.599 big celebration, he was so disappointed. He thought, is this 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:27.480 all that it is? 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.640 I've worked and reached the pinnacle of my career, and 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.640 I thought it would be different. Yes, I'm happy, Yes 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.320 God's blessed me, but it's just not what I thought 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:40.200 it would be. And sometimes we can spend our whole 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:43.440 life trying to reach a goal, only to find out 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:47.120 it's not what it's all cracked up to. Be friends, 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:50.720 the real joy in life is in the simple things. 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.680 It's in being with your family, getting up early and 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:58.560 seeing the sunrise, taking a walk through the park, taking your. 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.520 Daughter on a date, on bike ride with your spouse. 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.360 Sure, the goals, the accomplishments, they bring us a sense 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:10.120 of satisfaction, but they're only temporary. You can't live off 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.159 your Super Bowls. You can't live off your big events, 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.279 because after you savor them for a moment, God's going 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.680 to birth a new dream in your heart, something new 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.479 to look forward to. And I've talked to a lot 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.599 of people that have made it to the very top 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:27.359 in their field. The one common regret I seem to 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:30.560 hear is that they did it at the expense of 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.640 their family. They say, Joel, if I could do it 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:37.320 over again, I would take time to stop and smell 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.400 the roses. I would be there at my children's Little 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.559 League games. I would take more walks through the park 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:47.240 with my spouse. I wouldn't live so stressed and uptight, 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.080 thinking if I can just get to the next level, 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.919 then I'll slow down and enjoy my life. No, slow 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:58.159 down and enjoy the journey right now. Take time for 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.159 the people God's put in your life. They're not always 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.320 going to be there. The scripture says in James, our 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.560 life is like a mist. We're here for a moment 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:09.520 and then we're gone. 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:10.840 Every day we. 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:14.160 Should tell our spouse, our children, the people that mean 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:17.320 the most to us, how much we love them. I 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.400 told Victoria the other day how much I appreciate her 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:22.440 coming and listening. 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:23.800 To me speak every service. 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.400 A while back, we were out of town holding services. 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:29.640 Then we came back and did the three services on 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:32.480 the weekend, and I figured up she had heard my 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:37.080 same message that week eight times in a row. Listen 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.240 after eight times, I'm even tired of it. But she 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:43.560 sits there three services a week and she laughs at 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:46.040 my same jokes like it's the first time she ever 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:46.600 heard them. 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:48.200 And I know she's faking it. 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:52.560 But at least she's faking it to make me feel good. 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.640 I don't take that for granted. Make sure the people 0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:00.920 in your life know how much you appreciate them sacrificing 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:04.120 and being behind you. After all, you wouldn't be where 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:07.240 you were if somebody wasn't paying the price to get 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:10.119 you further down the road. I think about my mother 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.720 every service. When I'm up here, I can hear her 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.960 agging me on right there on the front road under 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:21.400 her breast. She's constantly whispering, that's good, Joel. Doesn't matter 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:24.200 what I'm talking about. I'm her son. She thinks everything 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.640 I say is good. I can say, you may be seated. 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:29.119 All that's excellent today, Joel. 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:34.559 But I realize I wouldn't be where I am today 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:38.240 without the people that have sown into my life. Now, 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.559 I'm not going to take for granted those who are 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:44.600 closest to me, my family, my friends, my coworkers, that 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:48.400 are making sacrifices so I can fulfill what God's put 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:49.080 in my life. 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:49.800 In my heart. 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.480 A lot of people today they're making a living, but 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:55.199 they're not really making a life. 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:56.880 They're working all the. 0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:01.800 Time, living, stressed out, bringing the tension home, too busy 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:02.960 to enjoy. 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:03.760 What God's given them. 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.320 We have to understand when we come to the end 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:11.360 of our life, most likely there will still be work 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.760 to do at the office. Your inbox will still be full. 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:18.080 It's never going to be all done. And if we 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.400 don't make our family and those that we love a 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:25.880 high priority to enjoy, to spend time with, to invest in, 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.840 then we'll end up missing out on the thing that 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:32.480 matters most. Because in your final days here on this earth. 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.640 The job won't keep your company, your family will. 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:36.600 But if you. 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:40.559 Spend all your time just investing in a career, giving 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.720 the best of your life and energy to build a business, 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:48.040 then your lack of investment in what matters most, your family, 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.680 could leave you a very lonely person. And it's good 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.400 to be focused and driven, it's good to be a 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.840 hard worker, but you've got to know how to walk 0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:00.000 away and say, you know what, this work is still 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.440 gonna be at the office tomorrow when I show up, 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:05.200 So I'm gonna be my best today. I'm gonna work hard, 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.040 but I'm gonna play hard. I'm gonna enjoy my family. 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.160 I'm gonna have fun with my children. If you don't 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:15.360 make this decision, then your family will always only get 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.720 your leftover time and leftover energy. 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:19.320 They deserve better than that. 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:23.640 Don't take the stress from the office home to where 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.040 you show up the whole house tenses up. 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:27.520 Don't let how. 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:30.680 Somebody treated you or what you didn't get done sour 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:33.679 your day to where you take it out on your family. 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:35.440 Leave that outside the home. 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:38.520 I don't know about you, but I would rather make 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:42.040 less money and be able to enjoy my life and 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.400 enjoy my family, than to be so overwork. 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:46.960 That I never have any extra energy. 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:51.600 There are plenty of opportunities I say no to because 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:53.760 I don't want my life to go by in a blur. 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.080 I don't want my children to grow up without knowing me. 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.000 I don't want to be so busy that I can't 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.559 come home and work out, or take a walk through 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.160 the park, or stay up and look at the stars, 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.600 or get up early and hear the birds singing. 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:09.319 You got to realize I'm a. 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:13.360 Very goal oriented, disciplined person. I've got to do just 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.040 what I'm asking you to do. I trained myself to 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.120 slow down and enjoy the journey. 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:20.319 I read about Frank Lloyd Wright. 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.200 He was a famous architect, and when he was a 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:27.400 young man in his early teens, he was walking through 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:30.560 a snow covered field with his uncle. They were headed 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:32.840 to a house up in front of them, but along 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:36.080 the way Frank veered off and stopped by the barn 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:38.760 to see the animals. Then he went over to the 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:40.880 pond and took a look at that, And then he 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.200 saw fort off in the distance that they had built. 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.600 He went out of his way and went and saw that. 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:49.320 When he finally caught up with his uncle way across 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:52.800 the snow covered field. His uncle said, now, Frank, I 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.560 want to teach you a lesson. Look back at our 0:11:55.559 --> 0:12:00.000 footsteps in the snow. Mine came straight here. I never 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.480 ventured off, and I got here much quicker than you. 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:04.160 But Frank, look at yours. 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.800 You zigzagged all over the place, wasted so much time 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:11.520 stopping all along the way. Frank Lloyd Wright said that 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.520 was one of the best lessons he ever learned, but 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:18.080 he took it just the opposite. His philosophy was, I 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.240 still got to where I was going, but I enjoyed 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:25.720 all the sights along the way. And in life, there 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:30.319 will always be a balance between working hard, being focused, 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:35.240 accomplishing dreams, and taking time to stop and smell the roses. 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.559 Some of you today you don't zigzag enough. 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:41.640 You need to start venturing off here and there and 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:46.000 appreciating and enjoying the great things God's placed in your life. 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:48.120 You're all working. 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.600 No fun, But if you would change your approach and 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.880 slow down and enjoy the journey, you will not only 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:58.120 still get to where you're supposed to be, but your life. 0:12:57.880 --> 0:12:59.520 Will be so much more fulfilled. 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.640 And I learned a lot of this from Victorious side 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:05.920 of the family. They loved to laugh, they love to 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:06.480 have fun. 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:08.040 They enjoy each. 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:11.760 Other At dinner, they can sit there and talk for hours. 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.560 My personality is I can eat in ten minutes and 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:18.080 I'm done. Let's get busy, Let's go do something. We 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:22.439 got goals, we got dreams. The other day, Victoria, her 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.120 mom and brother and some of the family came over 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:28.079 after church and we had a late lunch. And after 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:29.960 I got through eating, I went to the back and 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:33.120 watched the football game. Two and a half hours later, 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.079 I came back out and they were still sitting at 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:40.920 the table in the same seats, laughing, talking, having fun. 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.400 I was so amazed. I said to Victoria, what are 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:47.520 y'all talking about? She said, oh, nothing. Let me tell 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:51.360 you they can talk about nothing better than anybody I know. 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:56.440 Why is that they enjoy each other. They've taught me 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:58.400 how to take time. 0:13:58.400 --> 0:13:59.560 To smell the roses. 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:03.880 Think about this. God gives us a sunrise every morning. 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:07.160 Do you ever enjoy it? He gives us stars every night? 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:10.320 Do you ever look up and appreciate it? Maybe you 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:12.839 have your mom and dad living close by, do you 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:16.440 ever stop by and spend time. Do you ever call 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.640 them and talk about nothing? Many of us, God is 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:23.800 blessed with beautiful children. Do you enjoy them? Or are 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.880 you so busy raising them and cooking their dinner and 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.120 making sure they're doing their homework and making sure they're 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.720 cleaning their room that you don't really appreciate the gift that. 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:33.480 God has given you. 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:36.920 I know people that love their children, no doubt about it, 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.200 but they don't really enjoy their children. They let the 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:43.840 pressures of raising them rob them of what they have 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:44.480 to offer. 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.840 When our daughter Alexandra was about three years. 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.520 Old, she used to wake up at night and come 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:53.120 down the stairs and come into our room. Of course 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.280 we'd have to get up and take her back to bed. 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.000 For a period of three or four months, she was 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:01.200 waking up two or three times a night and coming down. 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.160 This was not long after I took over from my 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:07.400 father and started pastoring, so I was learning to minister 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:10.200 and there was a lot of stress and changes just 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:10.520 with that. 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:12.840 And now I wasn't getting that much sleep. 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.320 And one time I was telling Victoria, we just got 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.920 to do something about Alexander. She's coming down so much, 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:20.520 and you know, I'm just so tired, and I'm not 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.480 getting out of sleep. On and on, Victoria said something 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:27.560 I'll never forget. She said, Joel, just remember, twenty years 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:31.320 from now, you'll give anything to hear those little footsteps 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:36.040 coming down the stairs. You'll give anything to have her 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:40.440 wanting to come into your room. That changed my whole perspective. 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:44.440 I started looking forward to it. I started treasuring those 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:46.160 moments that we could spend together. 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:48.200 Your children may be a. 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:51.640 Lot of work right now, but make sure you're enjoying them. 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:53.720 They're not always going to be there in the house 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:57.600 with you. I heard doctor ed Young tell about something 0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:00.280 that happened with his son. Doctor Young, he is a 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.040 good friend of ours, a great leader, and the pastor 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:06.160 of Second Baptist Church here in town. When doctor Young 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:09.720 was the president of the Southern Baptist Convention, he received 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.640 an invitation to go to the White House and have 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:14.640 a personal meeting with the President. 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.640 It was a big deal. He was very excited about it. 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:22.080 But his son's basketball team won their division and they 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:25.440 kept it advancing, and it just so happened that the 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:28.560 state championship was on the same day. 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:30.920 He was supposed to go to Washington, so. 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:32.560 He had to decide was he going to stay and 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:34.800 see his son or where was he gonna go and 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.560 see the president. I'm sure he could have thought, well, 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:40.480 I can watch the game later by video, I can 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:42.920 call and get updates. I can probably hear it on 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:47.000 the radio. Now, Doctor Young didn't think twice. He had 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:50.000 his staff and formed the President's office that he would 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:51.360 not be able to attend. 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:53.440 He went to his son's game, and it. 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:57.600 Was very exciting, very close. The score kept going back 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:00.920 and forth. Toward the end of the game. His son's 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:04.160 team was down by one point, looked like they'd come 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:08.560 up short, but in the final seconds, his son hit 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:11.440 the game winning shot and they won the state championship. 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:14.920 Doctor Young said, I. 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:18.920 Would not have traded that moment for anything in the world, 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:22.840 not even a meeting with the president. Friends, we have 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:27.640 to realize some things we cannot get back. Our children 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:31.240 will only be this age once. Take time for the 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:34.119 people in your life. Don't rush out of the house 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:37.679 without giving your spouse a hug. Don't be so busy 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.240 that you can't go on the date that you promised 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:42.879 your little daughter. Don't come home so tired that you 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:46.560 can't go to the park and watch your teenage son skateboard, 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:50.880 make memories together. Twenty years from now, we're gonna look 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:53.960 back and say, those were the good old days. You 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:56.919 remember when you hit the game winning shot. You remember 0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:58.600 when I used to go to the park and chase 0:17:58.640 --> 0:17:59.160 you around. 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:01.960 Remember when we used to sit around the dinner. 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:05.760 Table and laugh and tell stories. Friends, we are living 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:08.479 in the good old days. Don't take it for granted. 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:12.800 Your family needs what you have. They need your smile, 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:15.600 your encouragement, your support. 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:16.400 Your wisdom. 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:19.040 They need to know that you care and that they 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:20.280 mean the world to you. 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:23.119 And it's important not to just be in the house. 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:27.880 Don't just show up, be involved, be engaged. Heard somebody 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:31.880 say it's not the time we spend together that really matters, 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:36.119 it's the moments we ignite to make a memory. And 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:38.399 I know plenty of people that are living in a 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:43.600 house full of family, but they're very lonely. Everybody is busy, 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:47.600 everybody's doing their own thing. Nobody is stepping up to say, 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:50.160 you know what, We're gonna be a family. We're gonna 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:53.159 take time to sit together at the dinner table and 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:55.800 see how we're doing. We're gonna go to the ballgame, 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:59.000 or to the dance recital and cheer that other person on. 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:02.040 We're gonna live each other up when we're falling. We're 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:05.960 gonna enjoy what God has given us. See it's easy 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:09.879 to be too busy, it's easy to become disengaged. But 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:12.200 if you want to get the most out of life, 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:15.120 you gotta draw the line in the sand and say, 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:18.359 I'm gonna slow down and enjoy the journey. I'm not 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:20.960 gonna take for granted what God has given me. I'm 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:23.760 not gonna be a workaholic and not see my children 0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:27.080 grow up. I'm not gonna live so stressed out that 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:30.960 I can't appreciate the simple things in life. A few 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:34.040 years ago, I was rounded everybody up at our house 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:34.560 to leave. 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:36.840 We were headed to church, and we. 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:39.080 Were running late, and I was in a big hurry, 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:42.440 all stressed out about it. And our son, Jonathan was 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:46.399 about eight years old. Somebody had given us a label maker, 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:48.800 one of those little machines that you can type a 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:51.359 message and it'll print out a little label that you 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:54.440 can stick on somewhere. Jonathan was there by the back 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:56.359 door and he was typing in a message. 0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:59.280 I said, Jonathan, you gotta put that up. We're late. 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:01.399 We gotta go right he said, hang on, Dad, I 0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:04.240 just need another minute, just another second. I said, Jonathan, 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.320 we don't have another second. We're not going to get 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:07.960 to church in time. You got to put it up. 0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:11.360 I was getting more and more stressed out about that time. 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:13.879 He printed out the message and handed it to me. 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:18.760 It said, you're the best dad in the world. I thought, well, 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:22.199 maybe we can stay here a little longer, print out 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:26.679 a few more of those. But sometimes we get so 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:30.280 caught up in our goals and so focused on the 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:34.480 end result that we missed the miracles all along the way. 0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:39.679 Take time to smell the roses, enjoy the different personalities 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:43.360 God's put in your life. I found it's the simple 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:45.959 things that mean the most to us. You don't have 0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:49.399 to take an expensive vacation to make a memory. You 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:52.399 can make a memory sitting at the dinner table. You 0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:55.560 can make a memory watching your children play in the backyard, 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:58.600 getting up early with your spouse, and taking in a 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:03.320 beautiful sunrise. Some of my best memories growing up were 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:05.800 when all of us kids there were five of us, 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:09.919 would sit with my father early in the morning and 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:13.560 drink coffee by the fire. When my father would take 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:16.360 his first sip of coffee, he would always let out 0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:20.560 a long ah. All of us kids from four to 0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:23.520 fourteen would do the same thing. We'd have a contest 0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:26.400 to see who could do the best odd we'd sit 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:29.600 there and laugh and have fun together. My brother Paul 0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:32.280 tells how he and his children still get up today 0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:35.080 and drink coffee early in the morning, sip it and 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:38.720 say they're ows. I don't drink coffee anymore. I'm a 0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:44.439 little bit holier than he is. But growing up we 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:47.160 didn't have a lot of money, but my parents were 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:51.240 very innovative. We lived close to the big airport, and 0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:54.160 a couple of nights a month when it wasn't busy, 0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:57.000 they would take us up to the airport and we 0:21:57.040 --> 0:21:58.520 would ride the train together. 0:21:59.080 --> 0:21:59.879 That was free. 0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:02.560 We loved it. You would have thought they were taking 0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:05.360 us to an amusement park. We would go back and 0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:08.760 forth between Terminal A and Terminal B for an hour 0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:12.919 or two. I'm sure people thought that family is so lost, 0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:15.480 they don't know what they're doing. Oh, you know what 0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:18.080 we were doing. We were making a memory. We were 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:19.960 having fun together as a family. 0:22:20.480 --> 0:22:21.880 It's not how. 0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:23.560 Expensive it is or how exciting. 0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:26.600 It is. Life is all about what we make it. 0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:30.320 When our children were younger, we took them to Disneyland, 0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:33.800 and Alexandra was about five years old, I would guess, 0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:34.280 and it. 0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:36.640 Was very much a struggle getting there that day. 0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:38.439 There was a lot of traffic and we were in 0:22:38.480 --> 0:22:41.320 the rental car and hard finding a place to park, 0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:43.520 and a long line to get on the tram to 0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:45.760 catch it to the park, and by the time we 0:22:45.920 --> 0:22:48.920 got in the park, I was very stressed out. We 0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:52.680 weren't there fifteen minutes until little Alexandra said, Daddy, I 0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:55.320 want to go back to the hotel and go swimming. 0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:58.040 I said no, no, no, Alexandra. 0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:01.400 We can swim anywhere. We can swim at home. We're 0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:02.640 at Disneyland. 0:23:03.320 --> 0:23:06.119 She said, Daddy, I don't want to be at Disneyland. 0:23:06.160 --> 0:23:07.200 I want to go swimming. 0:23:07.920 --> 0:23:11.240 I said no, Alexandra, we may see Mickey Mouse. We're 0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:13.600 gonna go find snow White. We're gonna have so much fun. 0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:15.040 She said, I don't want to. 0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:15.840 Have fun here. 0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:18.760 I finally had to say, listen, Alexandra, I pay fifty 0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:23.320 bucks for your ticket. You're gonna have fun whether you 0:23:23.440 --> 0:23:27.960 like it or not. What am I saying, it doesn't 0:23:28.000 --> 0:23:31.720 take a lot of money to have fun. Many times 0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:32.240 it's the. 0:23:32.280 --> 0:23:34.600 Simple things that we remember the most. 0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:38.280 I heard about this man that was a huge baseball fan. 0:23:38.880 --> 0:23:41.920 For his son's eighth birthday, he bought him a baseball 0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:45.040 that was autographed by all of the New York Yankees 0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:47.880 they had just won the World Series. Paid a lot 0:23:47.920 --> 0:23:50.040 of money for it, and he was sure his son 0:23:50.040 --> 0:23:52.520 would treasure it for years to come. But when he 0:23:52.560 --> 0:23:55.680 gave the ball to his son, his son wasn't excited 0:23:55.720 --> 0:23:58.000 about it at all. In fact, he just looked at 0:23:58.080 --> 0:24:00.440 it and put it off to the side. The dad 0:24:00.520 --> 0:24:03.920 was so disappointed, he said, son, don't you like the ball? 0:24:04.359 --> 0:24:06.679 His son said, yes, Dad, but I'd like it a 0:24:06.720 --> 0:24:11.920 lot better if somebody hadn't written all these names on it. Friends, 0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:16.080 we've got to learn to enjoy the simple things in life. 0:24:16.119 --> 0:24:18.440 Today. Everything is so complicated. 0:24:18.880 --> 0:24:23.960 We have five hundred channels on TV, the internet, cell phones, PDAs. 0:24:24.320 --> 0:24:28.399 Everywhere you look there's something to do, some kind of entertainment, 0:24:28.840 --> 0:24:31.359 and if we're not careful, we'll fall into the trap 0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:34.560 of thinking that we've always got to be busy. We 0:24:34.640 --> 0:24:37.200 can't have fun, we can't enjoy our life unless we're 0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:41.400 doing something big and exciting, or slow down and enjoy 0:24:41.520 --> 0:24:44.560 the simple things. Turn off the TV and spend more 0:24:44.600 --> 0:24:47.520 time with your family. Take a walk, go for a 0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:52.359 bike ride, play games together that doesn't cost anything. Growing up, 0:24:52.400 --> 0:24:54.840 we used to play hide and go seek as a family. 0:24:55.160 --> 0:24:57.840 My mom and dad would chase us all through the house. 0:24:58.000 --> 0:25:00.920 It's one of the highlights of my day. My favorite 0:25:00.960 --> 0:25:04.080 memory is when my sister Lisa got stuck in the dryer. 0:25:06.400 --> 0:25:10.480 Thank god we had it on permanent press. But it's 0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:13.520 not about what we have or don't have. Life is 0:25:13.600 --> 0:25:16.400 all about what we make it. You can have all 0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:18.679 the money in the world and not be happy and 0:25:18.840 --> 0:25:22.040 enjoying life. Plus you can have very little and be 0:25:22.160 --> 0:25:25.280 just as satisfied and fulfilled as you can be. It's 0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:26.360 all in our approach. 0:25:26.800 --> 0:25:26.879 Now. 0:25:26.880 --> 0:25:29.800 I read about this family that was very wealthy. The 0:25:29.880 --> 0:25:33.440 father wanted to show his seven year old son how 0:25:33.480 --> 0:25:36.960 the quote poor people live, and so he left the 0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:39.760 big home in the city and they drove to a 0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:43.040 little farm in the country where this family they knew 0:25:43.200 --> 0:25:45.000 was and they spent the night with them. And it's 0:25:45.040 --> 0:25:48.960 just a little frame wood house and didn't have any TV, 0:25:49.240 --> 0:25:52.720 no fancy furniture, no carpet, and at night this family, 0:25:53.080 --> 0:25:55.760 since there was no entertainment inside, they would go out 0:25:55.760 --> 0:25:58.680 on the front porch and sing and laugh and tell 0:25:58.720 --> 0:26:01.919 stories together. After being there a night or two, the 0:26:02.000 --> 0:26:04.840 father and son headed back home, and the father was 0:26:05.000 --> 0:26:08.840 very curious as to if his son had learned his lesson, 0:26:08.880 --> 0:26:11.800 and he asked him how he liked it. Little boy said, oh, Dad, 0:26:11.840 --> 0:26:14.639 I really loved it. He said, well, son, do you 0:26:14.720 --> 0:26:16.919 see how poor people can be? 0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:18.800 And the son said, yes, Dad, I did. 0:26:19.200 --> 0:26:22.440 He said, well, son, tell me what exactly did you learn. 0:26:23.119 --> 0:26:25.199 The little boy said, well, Dad, I learned that we 0:26:25.359 --> 0:26:28.879 have one dog at home and they have four. We 0:26:29.000 --> 0:26:31.280 have a swimming pool in the middle of our backyard, 0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:34.359 but they have a stream with no end. We have 0:26:34.480 --> 0:26:37.560 fancy lanterns on our house, but they have the stars. 0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:41.200 We watched TV by ourselves at night, but they sit 0:26:41.280 --> 0:26:41.880 around as. 0:26:41.800 --> 0:26:45.040 A family and have fun. His dad was shaking his head. 0:26:45.080 --> 0:26:46.240 He knew it had backfired. 0:26:46.480 --> 0:26:49.080 About that time, the son said, Dad, thank you so 0:26:49.280 --> 0:26:52.360 much for showing me how poor we really are. 0:26:54.760 --> 0:26:55.280 Friends. 0:26:55.640 --> 0:26:58.359 If you have people in your life to love, you're rich. 0:26:59.040 --> 0:27:00.680 If you have your health, you're rich. 0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:06.000 If you can hear your little girl's footsteps coming down 0:27:06.000 --> 0:27:09.520 the stairs, you're rich. If you can talk with your 0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:14.639 family about nothing, you're rich. Keep the right perspective, slow 0:27:14.680 --> 0:27:18.120 down and enjoy the simple things in life. Take more 0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:21.040 walks through the park, look at the stars at night. 0:27:21.240 --> 0:27:24.200 Think about God's goodness when you get up in the morning. 0:27:24.240 --> 0:27:27.560 Don't just drink your coffee, Sip it and say ah, 0:27:27.880 --> 0:27:31.479 make a memory, ignite that moment. I'm asking us today 0:27:31.760 --> 0:27:35.520 to slow down and enjoy the journey. There will always 0:27:35.520 --> 0:27:38.120 be another dream, another goal, another challenge. 0:27:38.440 --> 0:27:41.640 Take time for what matters most. Some of you are 0:27:41.680 --> 0:27:43.520 so focused. 0:27:42.960 --> 0:27:45.600 And driven, so busy with what you have to do 0:27:45.680 --> 0:27:49.960 each day, you're missing the miracles all along the way. 0:27:50.119 --> 0:27:53.320 You need to do like Frank Lloyd Wright and start zigzagging. 0:27:53.560 --> 0:27:56.439 Start enjoying the different things that God has put in 0:27:56.480 --> 0:27:59.920 your life. I heard somebody say, it's not that life 0:28:00.200 --> 0:28:03.520 is so short, it's that we wait so long to begin. 0:28:04.240 --> 0:28:07.800 Why don't you begin today? Take time to smell the roses, 0:28:08.080 --> 0:28:11.440 appreciate the people in your life. Hug your children before 0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:14.440 you leave each day, give your spouse a kiss, Call 0:28:14.480 --> 0:28:16.320 your parents and tell them how much you love them. 0:28:16.600 --> 0:28:19.800 Go visit those relatives you've been meaning to. Life is short, 0:28:20.000 --> 0:28:22.400 We're not always going to be here, and it's good 0:28:22.400 --> 0:28:24.359 to work hard, but you've got to learn how to 0:28:24.400 --> 0:28:27.000 turn it off, stay in balance and play hard as well. 0:28:27.160 --> 0:28:30.200 We're living in the good old days. If you'll make 0:28:30.240 --> 0:28:32.879 this decision that you're going to slow down and enjoy 0:28:32.960 --> 0:28:36.080 the journey, then you will experience the fullness of what 0:28:36.160 --> 0:28:38.600 God has in store. When you come to the end 0:28:38.640 --> 0:28:41.520 of your life, you'll have no regrets. You'll be able 0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:43.959 to say I made the most of my life. I 0:28:44.040 --> 0:28:47.240 enjoyed my family, I enjoyed my friends. I finished my 0:28:47.360 --> 0:28:48.320 course with joy. 0:28:48.360 --> 0:28:49.800 Amen. Do you receive that today? 0:28:51.240 --> 0:28:53.960 We never like to close our broadcast without giving you 0:28:54.000 --> 0:28:56.760 an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 0:28:56.960 --> 0:28:57.920 Would you pray with me? 0:28:58.560 --> 0:29:03.280 Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come 0:29:03.320 --> 0:29:08.000 into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior.
