The "Busy-Ness" of Life

Life has been busy of late, and I have not taken the time to write anything.  I think today is a good day to discuss "busy-ness" as I call it.  You know what I mean; from the time you get up until the time you go to bed you have been so busy you don't know if you are coming or going.  Thas is how it has been for me over the last few weeks with work, and while I keep a small copy of "The Daily Bread" at my desk to read each morning before getting busy, I've discovered a day or two may go by before I realize I've missed even that 2 minute reading.

Yesterday, it hit me that I had once again fallen into the "busy-ness" of life and needed to stop and take a breath, smell the roses, look at God's beauty in the cool mornings and warmth of the evening.  It's time to take stock of the important things in life; my relationship with Christ is at the top of the list.

So today, I am going to take that time to slow down and prepare my heart and soul for the day's events. I thought about my grandmother as I was driving home yesterday, and it almost takes my breath away to think she has been with the Lord almost 6 months now.  While driving home I took my time and just talked to God thanking Him for all He has done and all He will do.  And I asked Him to give my granny a nudge just to let her know I was thinking of her and loved her.  I do not know if that is how it works, but I like to think granny got a warm feeling of love.

Likewise, I hope that God felt that same love as I was talking to Him.

When have you last talked to God?
