Take Time

As you wake up on a weekday morning, what is on your mind?

If you are like most folks, it is: "I'm running late", "I've got to get the kids to school", "I haven't got breakfast ready and the school bus is almost here", or "I'm not even dressed yet, I am going to be so late for work".

We live in such a fast-paced world. I have such empathy for our young parents trying to juggle careers, school, spouses, and children. It is not an easy job and not for the faint at heart.

Someone told me, "I wake up in a rush, fly around all day and by the time it's 10:30 PM, I simply collapse in my bed. Then, the alarm clock goes off and it's off to the races once more". Friends, that is a tough way to live!

I want to encourage you to find time (even if it is just 5-10 minutes each day) to reflect on your life. Where you want to go, what is important to you, and what you are thankful for! Today, tell others how much they mean to you, help someone in need, and take time out for your family.

Be sure and remember God loves you and wants the best for you! Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope".

Stay true to the Word!
