38
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 5: this podcast. I believe God has amazing things in your future.

39
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 5: I hope you enjoy this message. How many of you

40
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 5: guys know that sometimes the smallest thing can just irritate you,

41
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 5: things that really don't matter in the long run. I

42
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 5: was with a girlfriend of mine several years ago and

43
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 5: she was showing me her vacation photos. I hate to

44
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 5: date this, but it's when we used to go get

45
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 5: them at Walgreens. She said, I just picked up my

46
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 5: vacation photos.

47
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 4: Let's look at them.

48
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 5: So I said, okay, And so we began to look

49
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 5: at this beautiful of pictures of blue skies, sandy beaches,

50
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 5: all these cute little shops at the port, just so

51
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 5: much fun. And we're looking and I noticed she was

52
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 5: getting a little more irritated, and she was going through

53
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 5: the pictures more quickly, and I was like, okay, okay,

54
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 5: you know, I was gonna kind of really check them

55
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 5: out and talk about it. Then all of a sudden,

56
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 5: I noticed she began to say, I look terrible in

57
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 5: that picture. I don't like that picture. I'm not wearing

58
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 5: that outfit again. It doesn't photograph well. And she began

59
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 5: to pick herself a party these pictures. See, it went

60
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 5: from enjoying her vacation to looking at something about herself

61
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 5: that I couldn't even see. You see, sometimes we forget

62
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 5: the big picture.

63
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 4: We forget to look.

64
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 5: At the blue skies, the sandy beaches, the smiling faces

65
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 5: our children, because we see that speck on the picture

66
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 5: and that's all we focus on.

67
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 4: You see, her memory all.

68
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 5: Of a sudden became negative. Think about Adam and Eve.

69
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 5: They were in a beautiful garden, lush green garden. They

70
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 5: had fruit everywhere, they could eat all they want, never

71
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 5: gained anyway, no laundry.

72
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 4: They were in this amazing, God given garden.

73
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 5: And one day Eat got her eye on a single bush,

74
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 5: a single bush in the.

75
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 4: Garden, the only bush she was asked not to touch.

76
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 5: And that day that bush became the biggest thing that

77
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 5: she saw. In fact, that bush was so big it

78
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 5: distorted the whole view of the garden.

79
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 4: You see, that bush was a speck on the picture.

80
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 4: She didn't see the whole picture because all she could

81
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 4: see is what she didn't have.

82
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 5: Listen, let's don't see the specks in our life. Let's

83
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 5: begin to see the whole picture what we do have.

84
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 5: Let's don't let a bush distort this amazing life. God

85
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 5: has given us the relationships that we have, because in

86
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 5: the long run, it really doesn't matter. I think we

87
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 5: could all say, if we step back, that we've seen

88
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 5: some specs that mess some things up. We've seen, we

89
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 5: focused on some things that we didn't have, and we

90
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 5: forgot to see all the great things that we do have.

91
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 4: Listen, I don't want to live in regret to you.

92
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 5: I want to enjoy what God has given me right now,

93
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 5: the beauty of the moment.

94
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 4: I think about my friend.

95
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 5: And today, I bet if she pulls those same pictures out,

96
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 5: she's gonna go.

97
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 4: I look pretty good in those pictures.

98
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 5: You know, sometimes when the years go by, you don't

99
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 5: look as bad as you thought you did. When my

100
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 5: kids were very young, we were at the old building

101
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 5: and uh it was the Easter Sunday and everyone was

102
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 5: dressed up.

103
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 6: You know.

104
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 5: All the family was there, the cousins, the aunts, the uncles,

105
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 5: you know, the grandmothers. Everyone was there and looking so good.

106
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 5: You know, we were all there together, and I remember thinking,

107
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 5: I want to get a Easter picture. Everybody's so cute,

108
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 5: all the little outfits the kids had on. And about

109
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 5: the time we could round everybody up to get this

110
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 5: Easter picture, we're placing everybody. I look and there's my

111
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 5: two little kids. They had changed out of their Easter

112
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 5: clothes and put on their play clothes. They're standing there

113
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 5: with some shorts and a rag Yo T shirt and

114
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 5: some tennis shoes, and I'm like looking at them, and

115
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 5: it was enough just getting everyone rounded up. There wasn't

116
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 5: time for me to go change them and bring them back,

117
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 5: and I remember thinking, I am so frustrated, you see,

118
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 5: because I wanted this picture to be perfect.

119
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 4: It had to be my way. It was my picture.

120
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 4: Let me tell you what that picture. It's one of

121
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 4: my most treasured possessions today, one of my most treasured possessions.

122
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 5: But at the time, all I saw were those khaki

123
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 5: shorts and tennis shoes and green T shirt that I did.

124
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 4: Not want in my picture.

125
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 5: See, we need to step back, We need to remember

126
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 5: what life is about.

127
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 4: It's about God's goodness, it's about our family, it's about

128
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 4: the big picture.

129
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 5: So often we want it to be perfect, we want

130
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 5: it to go our way, and when it slightly takes

131
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 5: a curve, it.

132
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 4: Messes everything up. That's not the case. It really doesn't

133
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 4: mess everything up. And we've got to remember.

134
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 5: You see, my little kids, they had no idea, They

135
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:32,679
Speaker 5: had no idea.

136
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 4: They're just kids. You see.

137
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 5: I would rather have a good relationship with my kids

138
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 5: than to be all upset with them.

139
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 4: Let me tell you what. They're in college now. I

140
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 4: would give anything.

141
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 5: To just have a picture with them today. You know,

142
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 5: I don't care what they're wearing.

143
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 4: I really don't.

144
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 5: Have you ever wanted things so perfect and it didn't

145
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 5: go your way. I know a lot of mothers can

146
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 5: relate to this. We want our kids'.

147
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 4: Birthday parties spectacular.

148
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 5: We want Spider Man there on time. We want the

149
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 5: princes coming with the right clothes on. We want everything perfect.

150
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 4: We get so.

151
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 5: Uptight planning, in anticipating, we forget who we're celebrating. We

152
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 5: don't even relax and realize, this is my child's birthday.

153
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 5: I'm going to enjoy this birthday party and celebrate them. Listen,

154
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 5: everything doesn't have to be perfect before you enjoy your life.

155
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 4: Let's don't look at the spec Let's step back and

156
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 4: see the big picture.

157
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 5: This holiday season, we're all busy, there's a lot going on.

158
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 4: Let's make memories.

159
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 5: That will last and that we can enjoy for a lifetime. Okay,
