The past couple of weeks have been "full". Full of projects, orders, work, travel, family, friends, chores, meals and long lists. Although being full is okay for a season, we have to remind ourselves to prioritize.
Last week, my sweet husband sat me down and asked for more time... what a blessing he is. He opens my eyes to things I do not see. I appreciate his ability to open his heart and communicate his feelings, something I frequently fall short of.
How often do we find ourselves setting out "fires", that seem so unimportant at the end of the day?
Home cooked dinners, quality time, prayer with the Lord, time for each other - priorities. I never want to look back at a season in our lives and think I was too "full" to make time for what really mattered.
Everything
will
get done. Try changing your plan of action. Find a way to stay organized. Set priorities. Pray. Simplify. Find you balance.
....
Would you join me? Take a moment today to reflect on your priorities. Is you life in balance?
Are you tired? Worn out? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
Matthew 11:28-29 MSG
