A Vacation Dream!

After a whole year of planning and waiting, my brother and I were finally able to go down to North Carolina to spend a vacation with our dear friends! The whole time I was there it felt like a dream, and now I am awake again, back home up north once more. I wish the dream would've lasted longer!

We made new friends, and enjoyed time with old ones. God has truly blessed us with many brothers and sisters in Christ down there! It felt wonderful to finally feel apart of the crowd in a right way, instead of being surrounded by unbelievers and mockery. It was especially nice to see the Neumanns, McDonalds, Bassetts, and the Sands. These families have been great friends to us, and to see them all after 8 years was a wonderful blessing. We did several activities down there including volleyball, skating, hiking,going to the beach, bible studies, and going out to eat and spend time in fellowship.

Even though I got a sunburn, and really sore muscles, I enjoyed every minute of my time down there, which is probably why the time went by so quickly.

To get to the point of this post, a vacation is allot like life. Your born and the vacation begins, and depending on whether or not you spend your vacation in the right way, will either make the vacation seem longer or shorter. But sooner or later you have to go home! Life is too short to waste, and God planned your "vacation" long before you were conceived. The way we can spend our "vacation time" wisely is to do what our "vacation planner" told us to do. The Bible tells us to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. That is the right way to spend our vacation here on earth. But if we spend our time doing as we please, life will be very short indeed! Because when a sinner's vacation ends, eternal hell fire waits for them! That is why Christian, our time here on earth needs to be spent in the right way, winning souls for Christ!

Yes it is true that the sinners of this world seem to have the "first class" ticket in life, but in reality, they are falling without a parachute! Jesus is our parachute, the one thing that saves us from eternal death! The more parachutes we give out the better, because as we have said, our vacation time is short! So Christian, my final word to you on this matter is this.....live the right vacation life, because just like a real vacation, you don't know when it will come to a sudden end! Thank you for reading and God bless!
