Ah yes, I remember them well from my childhood...the Muppet's. Many a time was spent with family and friends on a Saturday night watching the delightful characters brought to life to bring laughter into the homes across the world. Last weekend, the Lee family ventured out to catch a flick, and we settled on "The Muppet's" as our family choice. The movie did not disappoint. Obviously there were many scenes that depended on the audience's previous understanding of the show, but even then, it still brought laughs and smiles.
I wonder in our lives if we miss out on too many moments to laugh or smile? Life is too short. Life is too fast. Hence, we should laugh and smile more often since the moments fade all too quickly. This week my little girl will celebrate her 5th birthday, and this is way too fast. In fact, I can reflect back on my own childhood and I still can see friends playing together. I can hear the sounds, see the smiles, and feel the touches of those times past. All too quickly they are gone.
From Charles Dickens's book "A Christmas Carol" we remember the visit from the ghost of Christmas past. Scrooge tells the ghost can he bear no more memories of squandered moments. Then the Scriptures teach us from James 4:14 "For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then disappears."
With such reminders, why then do we neglect carpe diem? Let's resolve then to drink deeply from the fountain of life. Not recklessly, but with a singletary purpose to bring glory and honor to our Master, Savior, and Redeemer: Jesus Christ. Savor the moments of life given to us from a loving and gracious God.
Could not resist to offer you a clip of Muppet's in prime form, enjoy!
