SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWN: "DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF"

I REMEMBER AS A YOUNG BOY MY MOTHER USED TO TELL ME "DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF". SHE TRIED TO INSTILL IN ME THE IDEA THAT WORRY OVER SMALL THINGS IS REALLY A WASTE OF TIME, THAT I SHOULD JUST FACE THE DAILY ISSUES HEAD ON, DO THE BEST I CAN, AND THEN NOT WORRY ABOUT IT.  THAT WAS GOOD ADVICE, BUT MANY OF US TODAY TEND TO "FLUFF OFF" SO MUCH OF THE "BIG STUFF". YOU KNOW, THINGS LIKE OUR LONG TERM FUTURE, OUR CHRISTIAN BELIEF AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO OUR ULTIMATE ETERNITY. WE JUST DON'T LIKE TO FACE THOSE THINGS. THERE'S JUST SOMETHING ABOUT MORTALITY THAT WE WISH TO AVOID, AND WITH IT THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT WE HAVE FOR MAKING THE RIGHT DECISIONS WITH GOD'S GIFT OF FREE WILL.

THIS SATURDAY EVENING WE'LL TALK ABOUT THIS ON SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWN.  THIS DEVOTIONAL, NAMED FOR THE WONDERFUL SONG OF THE SAME NAME MADE MEMORABLE BY THE GREAT COUNTRY SINGER JOHNNY CASH, IS DESIGNED TO HELP US FOCUS ON WHAT BEING A CHRISTIAN MEANS AND WHERE OUR FAITH SHOULD LEAD US.  WE HOPE YOU'LL LISTEN AND REMEMBER, IT'S ALSO AVAILABLE ON DEMAND ONCE THE LIVE SHOW IS DONE.  IT'S JUST ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE A FEW MOMENTS OUT OF DAILY LIFE TO HONOR HIM.
