Don’t Worry. Be Happy.

As most of you can tell Margaret Ellen is about ready to pop.

This is such an exciting time for our family. However, it is also a very

nervous time. Apparently giving birth to a child is very painful. I would-

n’t know from my own personal experience but that is what Margaret

Ellen tells me (and I fully believe her). I asked her a lot when she was

having Owen are you nervous or scared? She always replied no. Now

having been through the pain she is a little more nervous for the pain

this time. Honestly the past few weeks I have been nervous too. Worry-

ing if the baby will come on time. Worrying how much pain she will be

in. Worrying about if everything will go well. And you know what? That

worrying hasn’t done me one bit of good. Jesus said in Matthew 6,

“And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span

of life?.” He was basically saying what good does it do you to worry?

Worrying doesn’t do anything positive for you so why worry? Instead I

have needed to lean on God. I have needed to pray for the things that I

worry about. When I show that trust in God to give Him my worries and

cares I seem to have a burden lifted off of me. So what are the things

you worry about? Have you thought to give your burdens to God and

let Him help you? Besides, worrying isn’t going to help so why do it

anyways? Trust in God and He will always be there for you.

Toward the end of the nineteenth century, Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel awoke one morning to read his own obituary in the local newspaper:

“Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, who died yester-day, devised a way for more people to be killed in a war than ever before, and he died a very rich man.”

Actually, it was Alfred’s older brother who had died; a newspaper reporter had bungled the epitaph. But the ac-count had a profound effect on Nobel. He decided he wanted to be known for something other than developing the means to kill people efficiently and for amassing a fortune in the process. So he initiated the Nobel Prize, the award for scientists and writers who foster peace. Today he is more widely known for the Nobel Peace Prize than he is for inventing dynamite. Nobel is quoted as saying, “Every man ought to have the chance to correct his epi-taph in midstream and write a new one.”

As I read this quote, I was hit with a very arresting thought: My obituary has not yet been written. Whatever it is that men think of me, I still have the opportunity to make it better. Whatever mistakes I have made in the past, the possibility still exists for me to correct them. Whatever it is that I have yet not done, but should have, I still have time. As long as God gives me life and liberty, I can make of it something meaningful and lasting. As long as I have breath and desire, I can do my part to improve myself, my family, my neighborhood, the church, even the world.

Everyone still has the opportunity to correct his epitaph, up until the day he dies. Of course, the best thing that could ever be written in our obituary is that we were a faithful Christian. And certainly there are many wonder-ful things we can add to that. And if you awoke this morn-ing and are able to read this, there’s still time to make sure that is the case.
