I recently went on a short trip with my sister, brother, and mom. Even though it rained for the whole three days we were gone we still had tons of laughs. If you knew my family, you would understand why. We are all characters and spend more time teasing and laughing at each other, but my brother is at the top of the pack.
We stopped for lunch on our way home and as we are getting in the car, my sister sat in the passenger seat in front with me, my brother starts tapping on her window calmly saying, “Fingers.” Pam looks at me and asks, “What did he say?” I answer, “All I heard was, ‘fingers.’” All this time Scott was still tapping on the window calmly saying, “Fingers.”
We finally figured out that Pam had shut his fingers in her door. After opening the door and figuring out there was plenty of soft molding around the door so, although his fingers were indented, they were not broken. It took a good ten minutes to stop laughing. I still chuckle when I think about this moment.
Now, before you think we are all heartless, let me remind you that Scott is at the top of the pile as being a character. He is always joking and pulling pranks on us. When he was so calmly tapping on the window, we both thought he was joking, which made this incident even funnier. We reminded him how difficult it was to take him seriously when he always tries to pull one over on us.
What about us? Are we going through life as a character where others are having a hard time believing when something important does happen in our lives? Maybe it is time to live our faith out loud and real so that when we need to share an important message with the world, all will not only want to hear but want to act upon the news as well.
Live your faith out loud so God’s truth will be known in all places.
