39
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 5: guys know that sometimes the smallest thing can just irritate you,

40
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 5: things that really don't matter in the long run. I

41
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 5: was with a girlfriend of mine several years ago and

42
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 5: she was showing me her vacation photos. I hate to

43
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 5: date this, but it's when we used to go get

44
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 5: them at Walgreens. She said, I just picked up my

45
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 5: vacation photos.

46
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 4: Let's look at them.

47
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 5: So I said, okay, And so we began to look

48
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 5: at this beautiful of pictures of blue skies, sandy beaches,

49
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 5: all these cute little shops at the.

50
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 4: Port, just so much fun.

51
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 5: And we're looking and I noticed she was getting a

52
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 5: little more irritated, and she was going through the pictures

53
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 5: more quickly, and I was like, okay, okay, you know,

54
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 5: I was gonna kind of really check them out and

55
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 5: talk about them. Then all of a sudden, I noticed

56
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 5: she began to say, I look terrible in that picture.

57
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 4: I don't like that picture.

58
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 5: I'm not wearing that outfit again. It doesn't photograph well.

59
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 5: And she began to pick herself a part in these pictures. See,

60
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 5: it went from enjoying her vacation to looking at something

61
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 5: about herself that I couldn't even see. You see, sometimes

62
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 5: we forget the big picture, We forget to look at

63
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 5: the blue skies, the sandy beaches, the smiling faces our children,

64
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 5: because we see that speck on the picture and that's

65
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 5: all we focus on. You see, her memory all of

66
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 5: a sudden became negative. Think about Adam and eve. They

67
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 5: were in a beautiful garden, lush green garden. They had

68
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 5: fruit everywhere, they could eat all they want, never gained anyway,

69
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 5: no laundry.

70
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 4: They were in this amazing God given garden.

71
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 5: And one day Eat got her eye on a single bush,

72
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 5: a single bush in the garden, the only bush she

73
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 5: was asked not to touch. And that day that bush

74
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 5: became the biggest thing that she saw. In fact, that

75
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 5: bush was so big it.

76
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 4: Distorted the whole view of the garden.

77
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 5: You see, that bush was a speck on the picture.

78
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 5: She didn't see the whole picture because all she could

79
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 5: see is what.

80
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 4: She didn't have.

81
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 5: Listen, let's don't see the specks in our life. Let's

82
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 5: begin to see the whole picture what we do have.

83
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 5: Let's don't let a bush distort this amazing life. God

84
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 5: has given us the relationships that we have, because in

85
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 5: the long run, it really doesn't matter. I think we

86
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 5: could all say, if we step back, that we've seen

87
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 5: some specs that mess some things up for us. We've

88
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 5: seen we focused on some things that we didn't have,

89
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 5: and we forgot to see all the great things that

90
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 5: we do have. Listen, I don't want to live in regret,

91
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 5: do you. I want to enjoy what God has given

92
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 5: me right now, the beauty of the moment.

93
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 4: I think about my friend and.

94
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 5: Today, I bet if she pulls those same pictures out,

95
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 5: she's gonna go I look.

96
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,799
Speaker 4: Pretty good in those pictures.

97
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 5: You know, sometimes when the years go, goh, you don't

98
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 5: look as bad as she thought you did.

99
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 4: When my kids were very young.

100
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 5: We were at the old Building and it was the

101
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 5: Easter Sunday and everyone was dressed up. You know, all

102
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 5: the family was there, the cousins, the aunts, the uncles,

103
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 5: you know, the grandmothers. Everyone was there and looking so good.

104
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 5: You know, we were all there together, and I remember thinking,

105
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 5: I want to get a Easter picture. Everybody's so cute,

106
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 5: all the little outfits the kids had on. And about

107
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 5: the time we could round everybody up to get this

108
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 5: Easter picture, we're placing everybody.

109
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 4: I look and there's my two little kids.

110
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 5: They had changed out of their Easter clothes and put

111
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 5: on their play clothes. They're standing there with some shorts

112
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 5: and a Raggio T shirt and some tennis shoes, and

113
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 5: I'm like looking at them, and it was enough just

114
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 5: getting everyone rounded up. There wasn't time for me to

115
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 5: go change them and bring them back. And I remember thinking,

116
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 5: I am so frustrated, you see, because I wanted this

117
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 5: picture to be perfect.

118
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 4: It had to be my way. It was my picture.

119
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 4: Let me tell you what that picture. It's one of

120
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 4: my most treasured possessions today, one of my most treasured possessions.

121
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 5: But at the time, all I saw were those khaki

122
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 5: shorts and tennis shoes and green T shirt that I did.

123
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 4: Not want in my picture.

124
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 5: See, we need to step back, We need to remember

125
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 5: what life is about.

126
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 4: It's about God's goodness, it's about our family, it's about

127
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 4: the big picture.

128
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 5: So often we want it to be perfect, we want

129
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 5: it to go our way, and when.

130
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 4: It slightly takes a curve, it messes everything up. That's

131
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 4: not the case. It really doesn't mess everything up. And

132
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 4: we've got to remember.

133
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 5: You see, my little kids, they had no idea, They

134
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 5: had no idea.

135
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 4: They're just kids. You see.

136
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 5: I would rather have a good relationship with my kids

137
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 5: than to be all upset with them. Let me tell

138
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,679
Speaker 5: you what. They're in college now. I would give anything

139
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 5: to just have a picture with them today. You know,

140
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 5: I don't care what they're wearing or really don't have

141
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 5: you ever wanted things so perfect and it didn't go

142
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 5: your way.

143
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 4: I know a lot of mothers can relate to this.

144
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 4: We want our kids' birthday parties spectacular.

145
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 5: We want Spider Man there on time. We want the

146
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 5: princes coming with the right clothes on. We want everything perfect.

147
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 5: We get so uptight planning, in anticipating, we forget who

148
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 5: we're celebrating. We don't even relax and realize, this is

149
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 5: my child's birthday. I'm going to enjoy this birthday party

150
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 5: and celebrate them. Listen, everything doesn't have to be perfect

151
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 5: before you enjoy your life. Let's don't look at the

152
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 5: spec Let's step back and see the big picture. This

153
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 5: holiday season, we're all busy, there's a lot going on.

154
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 4: Let's make memories that.

155
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 5: Will last and that we can enjoy for a lifetime.

156
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, that's so good.

157
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 5: Crazy Jesus, we are going to see the big picture.
