"How do you relax?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

It takes me a little while to unwind and really enjoy myself when I go to the beach for even a brief vacation. Well, God sent me a friend recently to help me detox from working. My friend’s name is Austin.

Austin is 4 years old and loves playing. He worked his way over to behind my beach chair and started digging a hole. He kept grunting like he needed some help. So I turned around and asked him what he was doing. “I’m trying to dig a hole. You want to help? My name is Austin and I’m four years old and you sure are tall.”

What could I say but “Yes, thanks for asking?” Before I knew it, we were not only digging holes, but covering his feet with water as he stood in the hole. Next we built bridges up and down the beach. Then we had horse races that he consistently won…unless he fell off in which case I became a paramedic in an ambulance coming to repair his broken leg or arm or head. My imagination got quite a work-out as Austin helped me play and relax.

Ask God to send you an Austin today so you can make a life, not just a living.
