The Last Word The marks of mature character
By Laurie LechlHner I believe the sage was correct who stated, “It takes more than yean to give a person a wise character.” I have seen senior citizens who were the most childish individuals on the face of the earth. On the same token. I’ve seen people in their 20s and 30s who had wisdom beyond their years. Being a student of the human race, I have watched for evidence of mature character, units I hope to cultivate in my own life. The person who is mature has lost the need to prove something to the world. An acquaintance of mine once said. “After a woman reaches the age of 40, she somehow realizes she's not going to be a beauty queen, so she begins to cultivate a kind of gracious heart.” When we are mature enough to be misted with a measure of success, we begin to realize that only what we share for the good of others will truly make our lives worthwhile. Success is lasting only in the relationships we make and are able to sustain. Those with impeccable character realize that what they do in secret will reflect who they are in public. The woman who wallows in bitterness and self-pity will never leave a pleasant fragrance when she walks into a
Moment of Meditation... Riding the Waves
By Pastor An Stuhz First Baptist Church, Bremen Vacations are times to get away, to relax and enable you to do something different, maybe even adventurous. In the ocean off the coast of Florida I experienced my adventure. The waves were getting a little higher and I just had to try it I carefully watched others as they waited patiently for just the right wave and then paddled their surf board furiously to catch the wave. Surfing those waves looked so easy, I'm sure I could do it, I said to myself. Well the board I was using wasn't a full surf board, it was one you were supposed to lay down on. But the principle was the same, catch the wave and ride it to shore. I found out it is much easier to watch and talk about it than to actually do it. But after being pounded by several huge waves and swallowing a lot of salt water and even skinning the tops of my feet on the rocks I finally managed to catch a wave and ride it to shore. What a thrilling experience, what a joy I had when I finally was able to ride the waves. As believers we are constantly faced with trials ana troubles that

room. Those who are mature know they're mortal and will not live forever. With this mortality comes a realization that we will take nothing with us when we go accept the hearts of those we have touched in the spirit of love. When we finally grow up, we begin to know what dreams to hold onto and what visions we will never see come to pass by our own influence. However, even though we have our feet on the ground, we will never fail to stretch our necks into the heavens. For with God nothing is impossible. We know we are no longer a child when selfishness is a thing of the past and we are finally able to empathize, standing in another's shoes even when it hurts. Only then can we see life through another's eyes and give up our own way of looking at things. A mature person realizes that his ideals will outlive him if he has planted those seeds in the lives of others. His children and grandchildren will reflect his values if they are taught them thoroughly. Finally, a mature character is reflected in the ability to laugh when life throws you a curve ball, to realize that “this too will pass.” There will be a tomorrow, even if today looks like the end of the world.
crash over us much like a wave of the sea. We are beat upon by difficulties from all sides. What do we do as we are about to be buried under the pounding waves. I think that we need to learn how to surf. However you don't have to go to Florida or California but only to the book of James to leant this skill. James 1:2-4 says: "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience." The waves are the various trials that keep pounding on us. But you and I can catch the wave and allow the difficulty to carry us on a joyful ride. God wants to use the hard things we face to mature us, to perfect us and to produce endurance and steadfastness in our life. You may think this skill is impossible, you don't know how to surf on the waves of trouble and trials. The next verse helps us; James 1:5 says: "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God". None of us actually looks forward to the waves of trials, but God wants us to get out our surf board, count it all joy, and ride the waves to the shore of spiritual maturity.
