Good Morning,
I am running extremely late today. I have been away hunting ducks with my good friends in some extremely cold weather. I went to bed early last night and ended up sleeping for about ten hours. My mug is full of Door County White Christmas Coffee and it is time to write.
We have a bird feeder in our front yard and usually the feeder is filled before sunrise or the night before. Since I was late today the birds were a little confused. The doves that populate the feeding grounds were sitting on our approach to the front door staring in the window.
This worked as a reminder that once you start something you need to finish it. And if you say you are going to do something, you do it. It's called follow through. Our words of commitment are important to God.
Numbers 30:1-2 Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel. "This is what the Lord commands. When a man makes a vow to the Lord or takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said."
I tend to have friends who are those type of guys. They are follow through men. As I hunted over the last few days you could see the dedication of the guys for it to be a successful hunt for everyone. Items were shared as needed and an extra hand of help was there if you needed it as well.
As we head into December and calendars get busier, don't let that busyness keep you from fulfilling your standard commitments. Be a "follow through" person and although you have added to your already busy schedule, keep your word and finish what you started.
Have a great day!!
Marty
