Extreme living stands in contrast to Popeye’s view of life that says “I yam what I yam”. Extreme living requires us to grow and become ALL that “I yam” toward that special purpose to which God has called us–to live faithfully right to the end. It is the kind of living that neither gives up, nor tries to be what we are not. It is life with purpose, perseverance and hope in the One who gave us life. It is extreme in its devotion to the One who has called us.
Sometimes our grandchildren see life as having as much fun as possible for as long as possible with little thought of God or His plans for their life (sound vaguely familiar?). As a grandparent, what are you doing to teach your grandchildren that fun means more than being constantly entertained? What kind of things do you do to show them that a really fun time can be rich with substance and service? What have you found that worked for you with your grandchildren?
