The list for today is long, as it seems to be most every day.
What I want to do.
What I need to get done.
What I should do.
And then there are the things I maybe should leave space for…
While it is important to pray for the people in our lives, it is also important to pray for the tasks before us: that we can focus and give a good effort and that the tasks we are tackling have a good impact.
We cannot always guarantee an outcome that is commensurate with our effort. I do believe that is God’s business. We need to be about planting the seeds and setting the stage.
May the things we do aid in creating the setting that helps hearts be receptive.
I literally came home from church today thinking I have so many tasks to do, and then your blog post title caught my eye. After reading it, I sat down to sing a few hymns and reflect on some journal entries. Thank you for encouraging me to focus on what my soul needs first!
Hymns have been written by those who have experienced the heights and depths and they are such a great place to spend time! What a great way to “fill up!”
I love the old hymns! I learned to sing them from my grandma and grandpa.
