balance

Friday May 2nd,  John 20:  21 Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven."  Again, scary stuff.  Stuff we all tend to shrink away from.  After seeing the hands and feet, the cost of discipleship, we are told that it is now our turn.  We might not have to hang on the cross, but we might be asked to give up one of those things that takes away all our time and energy.  We might just be asked to achieve balance before blessing.  Maybe it is time to give up a hockey game, a fishing trip, a lazy Sunday morning, a trip to the cabin once in a while, to achieve this balance.  It just may be the greatest gift you can give to your children as well as to yourself.
