So last night was the 83rd Annual Academy Awards. The Academy of Motion Pictures gives out these awards called Oscars in a bunch of cool categories like Best Actress or Best Picture or even Best Costume.
It is great to see all these people work so hard and work so long on their movies and to be honored before their peers on national television.
Any movie that is produced is done in hopes of being honored with even just a nomination from the Academy Awards. Oscars are thought of as the ultimate award for a movie star or movie.
Though you and I will probably never be nominated for an Oscar we have an opportunity to receive an award that is better than a hundred Oscars. The Bible tells us that as Christians we have been given the nomination to hear Jesus say when he returns "well done, good and faithful servant".
But to hear that, we must serve others well and continue to do the things that God has called us to do. James 1:27.
