There are so many things that call for our attention. Last night Anna, Bella, and I went to the Reading Night celebration at the elementary school, which honored Dr. Seuss’ birthday. Anna was whipped into a frenzy wanting to see her teacher twirl a baton while roller skating. She told me it would be a miracle if Mrs. Spees didn’t fall! She did not, and it was a miraculous performance! Bella was intimidated (yes, Bella!) at first by Thing 1 & Thing 2, but soon calmed down and was her usual “bull in a china shop” self. After the opening program, we had to have our pictures taken with the Cat in the Hat (our own Chuck Wright) and find the cookies. It was obvious that much time and effort was put into this event (for many years now) and the payoff is participation. They announced that over 400 attended the event last year and it seemed like there were more last night. Everyone did a great job. Now, I bring this up because there are many things that demand your time and attention, but what is it you participate in? Jesus has called us to be his witnesses. He is one of the demands upon us. He has also invested his own time and blood in you. Are you participating? This is not something you are forced do…God will not make you. This is not something God expects of others…he calls all believers. Some are excited…some are intimidated…but all are called to participate.
