What Do You Do For Fun???

“Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.  – Romans 13:13-14.

Several years ago a Christian girl told me about an incident with a young man who had been asking to date her. He was not a member of the church, and they just didn't have anything in common. She had turned him down twice and now she had said "no" to attending a rock concert with him. In a kind of mock exasperation, the young man asked, "What do you do for fun? You don't dance, you don't drink, you don't attend rock concerts; what do you do for fun?"

She replied to the young man, "For fun I get up in the morning without feeling embarrassed, ashamed and guilty about what I did the night before."

The young man had nothing more to say. She was right; it is fun not to feel guilty for your actions the night before.

Come to think of it, there are many things in life that are fun. For example, that Christian girl is now married to a fine Christian man. They have a little girl and are building an outstanding Christian home together. I am thrilled thinking about the fun she is having!

She is having fun everyday living without the affliction of deep scars of fornication, drugs or alcohol, and regrets from her past. 

It's fun getting ready each afternoon to receive a husband home from work, knowing that he won't be stopping off at a local bar for a few drinks with the boys. 

It is fun knowing that while he is away from her, his Christian conduct won't allow infidelity or even flirting. 

It's fun watching him hold his little girl on his lap with loving, protecting arms. 

It's fun knowing that her little girl will never see her father in a drunken stupor or experimenting with drugs. 

It's fun living with assurance that the home will be led by a spiritual leader who will guide each family member toward heaven.
