Regeneration

 

 

While theologically this word means that a Christian is spiritually born-again by the restoration of a life renewal through the life, death, resurrection of Jesus Christ, and finally the understanding of self-deprivation and acceptance of this free gift one become spiritually regenerated. I love this concept and it is echoed throughout the Scriptures. I particularly love the entire 1 Corinthians 15. I am however, going to discuss a regeneration called VACATION.

     While a rest or short sabbatical would probably be a better word choice, over the chosen word of regeneration, I have chosen regeneration because a vacation with one’s family and doing just family things is a regenerating experience in this modern day. With an overabundance of long hours and tools to “help” us save time, we are in much need of a new way to do things. A way that is freeing and non-distractive to our daily life. In fact, it is a new life style we desire instead of a vacation.

     Some vacations leave us more exhausted than when we left. I am not talking about that kind of vacation. I am talking about see places for the first time and actually communicate with the ones you love physically and verbally TOGETHER, instead of texting emailing or by social networking! Wow, What a concept!

     Well, like a true Texan would say, “I am fix’n to go on one of those.” I cannot wait to regenerate with the ones I love and subsequently with the Lord together as a family. Although, we will miss the family members who cannot go with us, we are looking forward to this wonderful new way of life interval even if it is only for a couple of days. I pray you can get away soon as well. Until, we get back...
