We’re all so busy with the rush of daily life. Get the kids off to school, get the house clean, go to your meeting, doctor’s appointment, get home in time to take the husband’s suit to the dry cleaners but make sure to be home before the school bus does, to get the kids off the bus. Get the kids happy and settled and start dinner. Serve dinner, get everyone happy and collapse on the couch for an hour exhausted, get the kids to bed and go to bed yourself. Rinse and repeat 🙂
Even those of us who are planners and bullet journalers. We make sure to get everyone’s appointments down on our calendar. We write down the days we need to do certain chores to keep up on it all so it doesn’t build up and come crashing down around us (because most of us know that if we don’t do it, it won’t get done, right?)
But as today’s devotional reminds us: Don’t neglect the eternal!
In all your planning, make sure you pencil in some time for the Lord. If you don’t put Him first, nothing else will fall into place in any kind of effective way. If if falls together physically, often we are left empty and exhausted and our spiritual and mental health suffers as a result.
