I've been thinking lately.. how many of you were raised like me, thinking that the term "make each minute matter" meant filling each minute with everything possible and then some.. until at the end of the day we could lay our head on our pillows totally exhausted and mentally check off our "to do list" and think "well done good and faithful servant"?
Then I started to think about the way Jesus ran His days.. His take on things was that He did only what the Father did and said only what the Father said.. as I grow to know the Father more, I seriously doubt He was run ragged from morning till night. Not that I'm a believer in laziness either.. I'm well aware of the scriptures that teach us about those that don't work to feed their families. I think that in this day and age we've gone to yet another extreme, especially as woman.
Maybe it's because I've entered the second half of my century, but I've started to make my "to do lists" differently. Instead of making them under a day or week of the calendar, I make them "open ended".. giving God the authority to organize the order and timing that they are done in. I figure if He created the entire universe in six days AND had the seventh day to REST.. he can certainly handle my "to do" list with no problem and I can sleep at night knowing it's in good and capable hands! What a discovery huh?? :)
I know you all have a lot of "pressing" things to do on your Franklin day timers list of things to do, but I think we'd all like to hear how you all feel about the subject and what you've learned through the years.. we can learn through one another!! )
