Over Scheduled

I saw some photographs the other day that absolutely took my breath away. Our country has such beauty and if it weren’t for the skills of a photographer and the magic of cameras many of us would miss it completely. It reminds me that we need to take a minute and enjoy what is around us…even if it is a quick walk around the block; whether we live in a snow covered area or near a beach with the sunshine gleaming off the ocean let’s celebrate the day. It seems there are days that we become prisoners of work, schedules and meetings and forget that we have family to be with, friends to see and a good book to read. It is with the love of Jesus that helps us make it through these over scheduled days as He reminds us that we need to have balance in our lives. Take time to pray, enjoy your family and friends all the while thanking God for the hectic schedules and opportunities that are before us. Let’s be patient, kind and gracious as we model God’s love and know that we will accomplish our goals as God is in control. Psalm 127: 2 It’s useless to rise early and go to bed late, and work your worried fingers to the bone. Don’t you know He enjoys giving rest to those He loves? We are blessed with this day…enjoy and celebrate the opportunities! Smiles & Blessings, Cynthia Collins Kaitfors
