Are You Too Busy?

Summer officially began June 21. School’s out, vacations are being planned, plowing to do, hay to bale, and then family reunions are coming. This is only the beginning.

For others there’s T-Ball, little league, soft ball, birthday parties and all those other “must do” things not to mention mowing trimming and visiting relatives…. enough already.

Our constant “busy-ness” may cause us to miss more than what we thought it was going to be fun, relaxing, and refreshing.

I’m convinced that too many people miss some of the more important and personal summer blessings.

When’s the last time you stopped long enough to embrace a “matters-themost moment?’

Here are some mattersthe-most moments: “Dad we go fishing or play catch?” or “Mom, can we bake cookies?” Or this one “Papa will you color with me?” Or how about this one,

“Want to sit outside for a while? it is really nice.”

What’s most important is often not what seems most urgent or a must do thing. We should guard against falling into the trap of being too busy. Take time to smell the flowers while they are still in bloom.

Don’t miss the greatest, most precious, most valuable, and most memorial opportunities because you allowed “busy-ness” to rob you of some of the most gratifying and memorable of God’s blessings.
