Good Morning,
I just poured a hot cup of Door County Highlander Grog Coffee into my cup and it is time to write.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. 6. In all your ways acknowledge Him and he will make straight your paths.
I am in familiar and unfamiliar territories today at the same time. I applied to work as an election poll worker for the city where I live. I was contacted and asked to come into work today and help out with some kind of project. Nothing was on my calendar so it was an easy answer for me.
I didn't think I would miss working as much as I do since I retired last June. But this small amount of work seems to be enough for me and I like learning new tasks and supporting my city.
I have to admit that I am familiar with working and unfamiliar with adjusting to the non work schedule. But I try to keep my calendar manageable and I don't always say yes immediately when asked to do something. I let God help me with the time management. That is an unfamiliar territory for me. The territory of "NO" is a lesson He has started to teach me. I pray more about my schedule and have actually learned to say no to the many things that are time stealers.
Better to be on God's calendar than for Him to need to find space on mine.
Food for thought!
Marty
