Catching Up

For those of you who follow on a regular basis, you noticed that I did not post yesterday. I am so sorry. I started this because I felt the Lord leading me to do so, and I purpose in my heart every day to listen to Him for instruction on what to write. Here lately I have felt as if I am behind on everything. Moving into our new church has been awesome and exciting, but it has also meant alot of work on my part to get my things moved in and together. This is not an excuse by any means, just an opening to this mornings thoughts. You see, we all get into this same situation from time to time. We tend to put off things until they can no longer be put off. Benjiman Franklin once said, "Don't put off for tomorrow what you can do today." There are alot of chores and jobs that we put off for another day that can really be done today. By putting things off we only create more work for us down the road. Then we get rushed, tensed, stressed, and tend to take these things out on those we love. There is no benefit to procrastination. I must admit this is a challenge to me. Proverbs chapter 6 verses 6-11, tells us to consider and watch the ant. The ant has no leader, but knows that when there is work to be done, do it. It gathers food when it needs to so that when winter comes it can rest. If the ant does not gather in the summer it will starve in the winter and not rest. We must do today what is before us. Don't get lazy, you will only reget it later. God bless.
