Is life to busy to be enjoyed
Well this is my first blog. I have struggled with what to write. For days now I have started and stopped four or five times and simply not been able to write. I am frustrated. But, not just because I haven’t been able to write a suitable article, but because I realized that I have been so caught up in the daily concerns of work and routine that I haven’t taken the time to meditate on things that really matter. I have been a slave to the urgent and a prisoner to the immediate. I simply haven’t taken the time to stop and smell the roses or meditate on how beautiful they are or what a wonder a rose is. I have been more concerned with time management than with understanding the concept of time. There is love, beauty, wonder, and amazement in God’s creation, but I have simply been too busy to notice. I want my life to be more than the sum of its work. I don’t want to spend my life only on those things that will ultimately turn to dust. I want to invest my life on those things that will last. Both those things that will last beyond my life in this world and those things that will last for eternity. I know that God has an ultimate plan for my life and I trust Him completely. But, I do from time to time lose site of what is of most importance.
