Good Morning,
I will enjoy my hot cup of Door County Christmas Coffee while I write and pray. I think that is a great way to start this day.
We are creatures of habit and not all habits are good ones. There is one stretch of highway in our area that has several warnings informing drivers of the speed limit change coming up. I watched a young lady just blow by me Thursday morning on my way home from hunting with friends. As she rounded a turn there was a speed control sheriff who when she passed turned on the lights and siren. She was caught speeding and I would guess at about 20 miles per hour over the limit. She was about a quarter of a mile into the speed change and showed no signs of slowing down until the the flashing lights of the police car were in full bloom. Too little too late.
There were plenty of signs prior to the speed limit change warning of the upcoming slow down. In our lives there are many warnings given to us to behave properly and we know the consequences, when we don't. There is a simple one that we all too often ignore. Our body was equipped with a warning detector to let us know when we need rest. ' We become tired and our body let's us know that we are in need of rest. Yet, very often we push the limits of exhaustion and cause our body to weaken from lack of rest. Too little rest can cause a multitude of issues.
So my point for today, is for us all not to ignore the signs in our lives. Example, when your spouse has to attend too many outings alone and make excuses for your absence, and he or she doesn't even tell you about what you missed, it is a sign that he or she is tired of your lack of attention.
Read and heed the signs of life. They are there for you to read and obey and flourish in life.
Marty
