36
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 4: How many of you guys know that sometimes the smallest

37
00:01:55,080 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 4: thing can just irritate you, things that really don't matter

38
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 4: in the long run. I was with a girlfriend of

39
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 4: mine several years ago and she was showing me her

40
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 4: vacation photos. I hate to date this, but it's when

41
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 4: we used to go get them at Walgreens. She said,

42
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 4: I just picked up my vacation photos. Let's look at them.

43
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 4: So I said okay, and so we began to look

44
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 4: at this beautiful of pictures of blue skies, sandy beaches,

45
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 4: all these cute little shops at the port, just so

46
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 4: much fun. And we're looking and I noticed she was

47
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 4: getting a little more irritated, and she was going through

48
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 4: the pictures more quickly. And I was like, okay, okay,

49
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 4: you know, I was gonna kind of really check them

50
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 4: out and talk about them. Then all of a sudden,

51
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 4: I noticed she began to say, I look terrible in

52
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 4: that picture. I don't like that picture. I'm not wearing

53
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 4: that outfit again. It doesn't photograph well. And she began

54
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 4: to pick herself apart in these pictures. See, it went

55
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 4: from enjoying her vacation to looking at something about herself

56
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 4: that I couldn't even see. You see, sometimes we forget

57
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 4: the big picture.

58
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 5: We forget to look.

59
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 4: At the blue skies, the sandy beaches, the smiling faces

60
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 4: our children, because we see that speck on the picture,

61
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 4: and that's all we focus on.

62
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 5: You see, her memory all.

63
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 4: Of a sudden became negative. Think about Adam and Eve.

64
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 4: They were in a beautiful garden, lush green garden. They

65
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 4: had fruit everywhere, they could eat all they want, never

66
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 4: gained anyway, no laundry.

67
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 5: They were in.

68
00:03:54,280 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 4: This amazing God given garden, and one day Eve got

69
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 4: her eye on a single bush, a single bush in

70
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 4: the garden, the only bush she was asked not to touch.

71
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 4: And that day that bush.

72
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 5: Became the biggest thing that she saw.

73
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 4: In fact, that bush was so big it distorted the

74
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 4: whole view of the garden. You see, that bush was

75
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 4: a speck on the picture. She didn't see the whole

76
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 4: picture because all she could see is what.

77
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 5: She didn't have.

78
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 4: Listen, let's don't see the specks in our life. Let's

79
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 4: begin to see the whole picture what we do have.

80
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 4: Let's don't let a bush distore this amazing life. God

81
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 4: has given us the relationships that we have, because in

82
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 4: the long run, it really doesn't matter. I think we

83
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 4: could all say, if we stepped back, that we we've

84
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 4: seen some specs that mess some things.

85
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 5: Up for us.

86
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 4: We've seen we focused on some things that we didn't have,

87
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 4: and we forgot to see all the great.

88
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 5: Things that we do have. Listen, I don't want to

89
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 5: live in regret to you.

90
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 4: I want to enjoy what God has given me right now,

91
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 4: the beauty of the moment.

92
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 5: I think about my friend and.

93
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 4: Today I bet if she pulls those same pictures out,

94
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 4: she's gonna go I look pretty good in those pictures.

95
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 5: You know, sometimes when.

96
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 4: The years go, ah, you don't look as bad as

97
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 4: you thought you did.

98
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 5: When my kids were very young.

99
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 4: We were at the old Building and uh, it was

100
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 4: the Easter Sunday and everyone was dressed up.

101
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 3: You know.

102
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 4: All the family was there, the cousins, the aunts, the uncles,

103
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 4: you know, the grandmothers. Everyone was there and looking so good.

104
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 4: You know, we were all there together, and I remember thinking,

105
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 4: I want to get a Easter picture. Everybody's so cute,

106
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 4: all the little outfits the kids had on. And throughout

107
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 4: the time we could round everybody up to get this

108
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 4: Easter picture. We're placing everybody. I look and there's my

109
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 4: two little kids. They had changed out of their Easter

110
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 4: clothes and put on their play clothes. They're standing there

111
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 4: with some shorts and a Raggio T shirt and some

112
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 4: tennis shoes, and I'm like looking at them, and it

113
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 4: was enough just getting everyone rounded up. There wasn't time

114
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 4: for me to go change them and bring them back.

115
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 4: And I remember thinking, I am so frustrated, you see,

116
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 4: because I wanted this picture to be perfect. It had

117
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 4: to be my way. It was my picture. Let me

118
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,799
Speaker 4: tell you what that picture. It's one of my most

119
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 4: treasured possessions today, one of my most treasured possessions. But

120
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 4: at the time, all I saw were those khaki shorts

121
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 4: and tennis shoes and green T shirt that I didn't

122
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 4: I don't want in my picture. See, we need to

123
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 4: step back, We need to remember what life is about.

124
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 4: It's about God's goodness, it's about our family.

125
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 5: It's about the big picture.

126
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 4: So often we want it to be perfect, we want

127
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 4: it to go our way, and when it slightly takes

128
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 4: a curve, it messes everything up.

129
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 5: That's not the case.

130
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 4: It really doesn't mess everything up.

131
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 5: And we've got to remember.

132
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 4: You see, my little kids, they had no idea, They

133
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 4: had no idea.

134
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 5: They're just kids. You see.

135
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 4: I would rather have a good relationship with my kids

136
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 4: than to be all upset with them. Let me tell

137
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 4: you what. They're in college now. I would give anything

138
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 4: to just have a picture with them today.

139
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 5: You know, I don't care what they're wearing. I really don't.

140
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 4: Have you ever wanted things so perfect and it didn't

141
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 4: go your way. I know a lot of mothers can

142
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 4: relate to this. We want our kids' birthday.

143
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 5: Parties to be spectacular.

144
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 4: We want Spider Man there on time. We want the

145
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 4: princes coming with the right clothes on. We want everything perfect.

146
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 4: We get so uptight planning and anticipating, we forget who

147
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 4: we're celebrating. We don't even relax and realize, this is

148
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 4: my child's birthday. I'm going to enjoy this birthday party

149
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 4: and celebrate them. Listen, everything doesn't have to be perfect

150
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 4: before you enjoy your life. Let's don't look at the

151
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 4: spec Let's step back and see the big picture. This

152
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 4: holiday season, we're all busy, there's a lot going on.

153
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 4: Let's make memories that will last and that we can

154
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 4: enjoy for a lifetime.

155
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, that's so good.

156
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 4: Crazy Jesus, we are going to see the big picture.
