Passion Creators
Do you have a passion for something? Is there something you do or a place you go that makes you feel alive? Chances are somebody inspired you or taught you that passion.
I have several passions. Some more important than others.
I LOVE to go fishing. I mean I would fish 24/7 if I could. I spent years without going, but still loved just thinking about it. My grandfather, Pa Rube, taught me to fish. He was so patient. He could sit for hours with me sitting between his knees watching that bobber. I am trying to pass that passion on to Mason. But I never thanked my Pa Rube for taking me fishing and teaching me. I never thanked him for being a passion creator in my life.
Even though I am not currently doing so, I have a passion to preach the Gospel. That came from my Uncle Virgil Messer and Dick Damron. Two of the best preachers I ever heard. But I never thanked either of them for instilling a passion to preach in me. I regret that. They were both so special in my life.
There are so many other areas I could write about, but I think you get the idea. Don’t let today go by without thanking someone for giving you a passion. It might be as insignificant as fishing or it might be something big like your direction in life spiritually, vocationally, educationally.
I know it sounds a bit silly, but every time I fish, I think of my Pa Rube and I smile. Then I usually shed a tear or two, then I bait up and sit. Sometimes I don’t sit long before I catch something. Sometimes I sit for hours without a bite. But I feel so good when I am fishing. I really wish my Pa Rube knew what he did for me.
Thank a passion creator in your life today!
God Bless!
