3 Months To Live

This summer our pastor began a sermon series on Colossians called 3 Months To Live - it's been wonderful and I will be sad to see it end as it has lead me to some serious self-examination and some very freeing decisions - even in some very non-spiritual ways. This summer has been a very different one for our family. With John Brady spending 8:30-2:30 at his summer program each day, Yancey Jr., Nancy Claire and I have been provided with a very different kind of day. And in the spirit of 3-months-to-live we've decided to enjoy it to the fullest. Instead of jumping right back into homeschooling after Vacation Bible School, I decided we needed to REALLY enjoy this summer and not start back until everyone else does in August. We've had playdates and movie days and time with grandparents, mid-day slip-n-slide fun and this CRAZY momma even sent them to 2 different churches for VBS and had 3 hours to myself each day for 2 weeks in a row! I know, dangerous, edgy....that's me! LOL
And it is incredibly hard to believe it's almost over! .....sad, really, really sad.....
Yancey Jr is on the trip of a lifetime this week -- his best friend and family took him on a cruise. I miss him something AWFUL....and can't wait til he gets home....and Nancy Claire and I have had some great time together this week.
My house isn't as clean as I had planned for it to be at the end of JB's summer program, but I have no doubt that in August we will all be glad that we had more fun than housework!
It's been a marvelous 2.5 months so far....John Brady has made great progress and we're making plans to keep him there as much as we can until school starts in August to prepare him for that. Well, gotta run,, getting ready for a swimming playdate.....But what different decisions would you make TODAY if you knew you only had 3 months to live? Would you be more zealous about KNOWING God, bringing others to KNOW Him, or BEING more like Him? What would you decide is a waste of your time? What are you spending your time doing that has no eternal value? 90-days......
