You Just Made History

Ever need a reminder that your actions are important...or that they have consequences...or everything matters?

This phrase popped in my head this morning and it's been floating there all day. Often, when you hear of someone "making history" it's because they've invented something, cured something, married someone, or was the first person to __________. But I thought about something. You make history every day. (Yeah, I know...REAL profound here, huh--ha.) But think about it. With every decision and every action and every attitude and every...you get the point...you are making history. This would be a great place to insert: THANK GOODNESS FOR GOD'S MERCY, EH? Ever made a big goof, wanted a big do-over? Ever made bad history? Thank goodness for grace.

As insignificant as deciding between Honeycomb cereal or oatmeal is, it's still history. But I guess if this post has any point (yeah, I know, you're still waiting) it's to remind us all that our decisions make history. Life can get quite mundane sometimes. Routine. Even feel insignificant. But we're making history every day. What a great opportunity we have to change the world/better our family/represent Christ/support the Auburn Tigers (how did that get in there?).

Bonus: One of my favorite history changing examples is a testimony of a First Generation Believer - someone who is the first in their family to ever follow Christ. If that doesn't get you fired up then you may want to check your pulse. THAT is making history!
