Some are better than others at spontaneity. I, for one, don't seem to have that gift. My dear mentor has given me an assignment. I am to do one spontaneous thing each day just for the pure fun of it. Imagine, it isn't on my task list, it isn't a part of what I need to do, should do or have to do. Some of the things I have thought of are taking a quilting class, cooking, dance class (Hope Dennis is willing,lol), scrapbooking, antiqueing and yes even cleaning out a few drawers to get my home organized sounds wonderful. Than at the close of each day I am to reflect on and write about my spontaneous fun.
So much of what we do seems to be out of obligation. We feel pressure or at least responsible to do our "A List" before we can ever consider the C or D List. Often fun doesn't even make it to our list. I think it is safe to say that we look at God as if fun isn't a part of His character. He must have had fun creating the world. I can just imagine our Triune God working away at creating earth...stepping back to see the big picture then moving forward to paint in the details....taking another step back...stroking his chin and then with a smile plastered on His face He declares, "It Is Good!"
Well I am off to enjoy some fun. Since He gave me this time off, I think He intends to awaken my soul to the color of fun. I wonder what color that is. Can't wait to see!
