Good Morning,
I am awake and ready to write and then enjoy some breakfast that will consist of biscuits and jam. I had my limit of Door County Coffee about n hour ago. Here we go.
Proverbs 3:5-6 trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.
I am retired from work now for about 7 years. And what I thought would be a time of catching up on fishing, travel, and more time with family, proved me wrong and somewhat silly.
Life still goes on and does not slow down to adjust to your retirement. Houses still need repairs and touch ups. The lawn needs tending, and then as you age you have more doctors appointments.
I am quite active serving in our church and there are different seasons in church life. In the past two months I have been extremely busy at church. I have performed a lot of repairs to our house or had to wait on misguided contractors.
Here is my point for the day. It is almost the fourth of July and I have yet to brew a pitcher of peach sweet tea and have yet to set out the patio furniture. That alone startles me. Summer will be gone and I will have a bag of should have, could have, and well maybe next year thoughts. The thought of not getting out to fish makes me shudder with disrespect for myself. Watching my wife wave to me as I mow the lawn and she has to go somewhere alone again is my fault.
Today I will set out my calendar before God and ask Him to help set my priorities or reset some. I am not sure how that will go or what it will look like, but I am going to practice what I preach!I am not sure what the answer is to the calamity I have allowed to invade like cancer but I trust God to help me clean up my calendar.
Have a great day.
Marty
