I was with 41 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 6: a girlfriend of mine several years ago and she was 42 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 6: showing me her vacation photos. I hate to date this, 43 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 6: but it's when we used to go get them at Walgreens. 44 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 4: She said, I just picked up my vacation photos. Let's 45 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 4: look at them. 46 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 6: So I said, okay, and so we began to look 47 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 6: at this beautiful of pictures of blue skies, sandy beaches, 48 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 6: all these cute. 49 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 4: Little shops at the port, just so much fun. 50 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 6: And we're looking and I noticed she was getting a 51 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 6: little more irritated, and she was going through the pictures 52 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 6: more quickly, and I was like, okay, okay, you know, 53 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 6: I was gonna kind of really check them out and 54 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 6: talk about it. Then all of a sudden, I noticed 55 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 6: she began to say, I look terrible in that picture. 56 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 6: I don't like that picture. I'm not wearing that outfit again. 57 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 6: It doesn't photograph well. And she began to pick her 58 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 6: self apart in these pictures. 59 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 4: See, it went from enjoying her. 60 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 6: Vacation to looking at something about herself that I couldn't 61 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 6: even see. You see, sometimes we forget the big picture. 62 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 6: We forget to look at the blue skies, the sandy beaches, 63 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 6: the smiling faces our children, because we see that speck 64 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 6: on the picture and that's all we focus on. You see, 65 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 6: her memory all of a sudden became negative. Think about 66 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 6: Adam and Eve. They were in a beautiful garden, lush 67 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 6: green garden. They had fruit everywhere, they could eat all 68 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 6: they want, never gained anyway, no laundry. They were in. 69 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 4: This amazing God given garden. 70 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 6: And one day Eve got her eye on a single bush, 71 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 6: a single bush in the garden, the only bush she 72 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 6: was asked not to touch. And that day that bush 73 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 6: became the biggest thing that she saw. 74 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 4: In fact, that bush was so. 75 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 6: Big it distorted the whole view of the garden. You see, 76 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 6: that bush was a speck on the picture. 77 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 4: She didn't see the whole picture because all she could 78 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 4: see is what she didn't have. 79 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 6: Listen, Let's don't see the specks in our life. Let's 80 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 6: begin to see the whole picture what we do have. 81 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 6: Let's don't let a bush distort this amazing life. God 82 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 6: has given us the relationships that we have, because in 83 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 6: the long run, it really doesn't matter. I think we 84 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 6: could all say, if we step back, that we've seen 85 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 6: some specs, that some things up for us. 86 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 4: We've seen. 87 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 6: We focused on some things that we didn't have, and 88 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 6: we forgot to see all the great things that we 89 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 6: do have. 90 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 4: Listen, I don't want to live in regret to you. 91 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 6: I want to enjoy what God has given me right now, 92 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 6: the beauty of the moment. 93 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 4: I think about my friend. 94 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 6: And today, I bet if she pulls those same pictures out. 95 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 4: She's gonna go I look pretty good in those pictures. 96 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 6: You know, sometimes when the years go, God, you don't 97 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 6: look as bad as you thought you did. When my 98 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 6: kids were very young, we were at the old Building 99 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 6: and uh, it was the Easter Sunday and everyone was 100 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 6: dressed up. You know. All the family was there, the cousins, 101 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 6: the aunts, the uncles, you know, the grandmothers. Everyone was 102 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 6: there and looking so good. You know, we were all 103 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 6: there together, and I remember thinking, I want to get 104 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 6: a Easter picture. Everybody's so cute, all the little outfits 105 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 6: the kids had on. And throughout the time we could 106 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 6: round everybody up to get this Easter picture. We're placing everybody. 107 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 6: I look and there's my two little kids. They had 108 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 6: changed out of their Easter clothes and put on their 109 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 6: play clothes. They're standing there with some shorts and a 110 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 6: Raggio T shirt and some tennis shoes, and I'm like 111 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 6: looking at them, and it was enough just getting everyone 112 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 6: rounded up. There wasn't time for me to go change 113 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 6: them and bring them back. And I remember thinking, I 114 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 6: am so frustrated, you see, because I wanted this picture 115 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 6: to be perfect. It had to be my way it 116 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 6: was my picture. Let me tell you what that picture. 117 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 6: It's one of my most treasured possessions today, one of 118 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 6: my most treasured possessions. 119 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 4: But at the. 120 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 6: Time, all I saw were those khaki shorts and tennis 121 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 6: shoes and green T shirt that I did. 122 00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 4: Not want in my picture. 123 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 6: See, we need to step back, We need to remember 124 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 6: what life is about. 125 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 4: It's about God's goodness, It's about our family, it's about 126 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 4: the big picture. 127 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 6: So often we want it to be perfect, we want 128 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 6: it to go our way, and when it slightly takes 129 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 6: a curve, it messes everything up. 130 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,119 Speaker 4: That's not the case. 131 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 6: It really doesn't mess everything up.
