A friend made a resolution with me to try a new thing each month.
Backpack in China…
Sago worms…
Rain forest music festival…
Salsa…
It keeps you wild and adventurous.
Actually it makes sense because when you look back 10 years down the road, you’re not gonna remember the RM 3 chicken rice you had for lunch yesterday.
You’re probably not gonna wonder how you’d love to go back in time to catch that episode of Survivor series you missed either.
But you may just smile and have a tinge of nostalgia that you had danced salsa in the monsoon rain, after glutting yourself with sago worms.
Wow, I did that. I can tell that to my kids someday too.
But life is not a flash in the pan. It’s not made up of unbroken chain of spectacular, high-octane events.
In between these once-off, out-of-this-world moments, you gotta live on earth… feet on the ground. That would mean chicken rice for lunch, doing laundry, paying the bills…
The Christian hedonist doesn’t live for the fireworks. He’d take the ordinary moments and enchant them by living it before the face of God, for His glory.
What about the sago worm? Heck, he’d take it with gratitude, as foreshadow of the endless adventures waiting the other side of heaven.
