Can we have fun and still be a Christian ? Of course we can and we should. I know in my life the fun that I have with my family is such a wonderful blessing. To laugh with your wife (notice I said “with” not “at”) and with your children is not only great but it is as the Proverb says- a joyful heart is good medicine. I think about the times that the gospels tell of Jesus’ interaction with children - I can just hear them giggling and Jesus having a great time playing with them ! Sometimes (for some people most of the time) we take living too seriously. We focus so much time on what we can accomplish or how to meet “our” goals that we miss the “living” of our lives. Yes there is a time for diligence and reverence but as in all things there must be balance.
Living our lives for the Lord will bring us times of growth, times of reverence and worship, times of trial and tribulation, times of rejoicing, times of work, times of fun and refreshment- let us keep our eyes on Jesus Christ - let us make Him the focus of our lives and the “living” of our lives will bring us (and others) great blessing.
