Yes, I did graduate, but I didn’t get a diploma, just a water bottle. I graduated from my Physical Therapy sessions. However, my instructor said I must do my exercises every day, or at least three times a week in order to realize my improvement. What would happen if I didn’t do them? Well, I would fall back, and maybe not be able to walk at all!
That is true with just about anything, even life itself. If we decide to sit in our rocking chair and let the rest of the world go by, the world will go by and our bones will too. We will not be worth anything to the world, or even to ourselves. Or, if we don’t play the piano often, we will lose that ability. How about a big basketball or football player? If they forget their practice sessions they won’t be a big player very long. will they?
However, I’m thinking about something that is real to many today. In former generations, It was common for families to attend church every Sunday. Then they decided not to go every Sunday which would give them more time to sleep. Soon they decided that sleep was more important than going to church. so they didn’t go at all! It is the same with reading the Bible. In quite a few homes today, the Bible is never opened, yet it is the most purchased book in the world today. Why? in former generations the Bible became tattered and worn because of use, and today’s Bible pages are still as stiff as the day they bought it.
I guess I,m taking my physical Therapy sessions quite far, but we should remember to continue those things that are good, otherwise, we will use them. I intend to continue doing my exercises. How about you? Why not decide to go to church this Sunday?
As I wrote in my blog recently, “The more able we are, the less disabled we are.” That applies to both body and spirit.
