Day 56
We had a great conversation in Sunday school about the timing of where we are in our lives. We have some that are unemployed, self-employed, stay at home moms and students. It’s a broad mix of ages and stages of life so it gets pretty interesting. The student wants to hurry and get out of school. The stay at home mom wonders some days if she has accomplished anything at all because she will start the next day doing the same things over again. The unemployed person wishes he had a job to go to although he complained about the one he had before. And me, the self-employed one, wonders if I’m doing everything that I’m supposed to be doing with my life and my business. It occurred to me that no matter where we are in our stage of life, we are always hurrying to get to the next one. Oh but to be able to slow down and relish the moment that we’re in.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 says ‘Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus’. And so, the stay at home mom is raising two beautiful children that will be grown and gone from home before she knows it and the moments she lives right now will someday be her fondest memories. The student will soon be out of school and off to work and she’ll look back at the days she had so much fun in school. The unemployed young man will get another job and he’ll miss the free time he has right now and wonder if he could have spent it better. And me, I’ll look back and realize that the growing phase that I’m in was one of the most precious and rewarding times of my life.
