Is something akin to the day all the Christmas decorations come down. For the moments they were up Christmas was still in season, like the feeling of being on vacation. Taking down the decorations is like the ride home from, in our case the beach. Once you start you’re on a mission to just do it as quickly as possible, get it over with, and try to move on. But there’s always a few days of pure letdown.
This vacation was one, like many, I didn’t want to end. For one week, I actually relaxed. I actually focused on my family completely. In case you really know me or my family, and are interested, stop by the family blog my wife keeps up from time to time. There’s few memorable quotes from my 2 year old, and some other reflections.
BUT, as I rode back to Spartanburg today, I could feel all the weight of the coming month slowly begin to build. It’s not a bad thing. It’s my life. My calling. I love the work of the ministry. By Wednesday, I’ll be back in full swing again. But I’ll keep all the precious memories of the time undivided with my family stored away to think on in the coming months. Yes vacation is over, but like Lot’s wife, there’s no time to look back. Don’t want to become a pillar of salt (or sand as the case may be for us).
