My Dear Daughters: Chapter 6: Pastimes

 Unlike 'vocation', 'pastimes' isn't a very flattering title. It sounds like passing the time, almost frittering life away. That is a danger.

I heard about a retired couple who took to collecting shells as a pastime. What would they say on the day of Judgement, the preacher speculated, 'Look Lord, here's our shells!'?

There isn't necessarily anything wrong with pastimes. God gave us a day of rest a week. We're not machines, robots to work 24/7.

Grace and Nicole are good at dancing, and I'm sure Serena will be too. I hope you all learn to swim. I hope you all enjoy music, and continue to sing well (Serena, I'm sure your time will come!).

Above all, I trust that you will even be at leisure to the glory of God. Maybe you'll continue to sing His praises, perhaps you and your family will serve Him somehow. All things are possible for those who believe in God.
