Valentine Little Debbie's Cakes

So the year is coming to the end, Christmas has only pasted a few days ago. Guess what...I saw in Walmart today?? I spied little Debbie's "be mine" cakes in their red, pink, and white glory. The Christmas cakes just ran out in clearance section and the Valentine cakes are in their place. Go up a few aisles and half of one side of the candy section, I spied heart covered red, pink, and white candy bags and boxes. Thankfully that is the only places I spotted that in the store.

Everything in the stores and around us is about moving into the future. Think about the future what are you planning for the next day. I have never seen the movie, Click. From what I have gathered from people who have watched it is Adam S.'s character used this magic clicker (he gets somewhere) to fast forward, pause, and slow down parts of his life. He fast forwards to get a promotion after promotion. When the climate hit he realized everything he missed on by fast forwarding with his family.Where he lost all of them. I am not sure how the movie ends but I would not be surprised if he got to rewind his life and change it.  

That is... the beauty and power of movies. In the fictional world there is a chance to go back. For us there is no chance to go back. There is a question that is posed on some of the Asian dramas I watch. "What you would do if you could begin your life again?" Those questions always perplexed me for you can change something about your life now.  

A life cannot begin again with Jesus Christ and you cannot start from the very beginning. There is a warning in Jesus teachings that is not to worry in Matthew 6:34 about not worrying about the future.  Days can be spent thinking about the future wasting the perfectly good day now.

As you start the new year create a goal whether its giving up pop or soda, giving up sweets, or start reading the bible everyday. 

Take it one day at a time.
