Devotional Day 2, Monday, June 7, 2010
Extravagance
Jeremiah 31:26 ~ At this, I woke up and looked around. My sleep had been very sweet.
You push the little button down - a simple effort that guarantees your alarm will not ring. With no obnoxious buzz to jolt you awake, a dreamlike smile sweeps your mind and you stretch once, twice. Feeling like an heir to some latter-day throne, you pull your blanket up over your shoulders and doze off into never-never land . . .
Turning off an alarm is an extravagant pleasure - on par with walking barefoot in the mud. Actions like these keep the cobwebs out. Without them, we close our eyes at seventeen and open them at sixty-five.
So loosen up today. If you need some ideas on how to go about it, lavish yourself with some of the following:
Smile at a child. Smile at the child's parents, too. Tell them they've got a good-looking kid - even if he looks like a lizard. Or round up a couple of friends, dig out a jump rope, and have an old-fashioned aerobic workout. If you want to make a friend for life, invite your mom to jump in.
Laugh out loud. Climb a tree. Take a bubble bath. Count your teeth with your tongue. Chew a wad of gum, and pop the bubble on your face. Smell a freshly mowed lawn. Better yet, visit the biggest library, stand in the center, and take a long, slow whiff. Inhale the fragrance of thoughts and wisdom. Breaths of library air should cost a quarter each. So get what you can now - free - while the supply lasts.
Walk on a brick wall and sing "Amazing Grace." Sit somewhere high and watch the sun set. After it's down, make some popcorn and return for the second show: Fireflies at dusk. They're more magical than anything Steven Spielberg or Disneyland can produce.
You want extravagance? I'll give you extravagance: Before you go to bed tonight, talk to God. Don't just mumble a few bless 'ems. Really pray. While you're at it, thank God for sunsets and fireflies and bubble baths. And don't forget babies and popcorn . . . and alarms that don't ring.
Prayer:
Dear God – Thank you for the pleasures you give us in life. Joy can come from even the most simple of activities. Help us to take time once in a while to enjoy the little things around us.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen
