Still journaling...sometimes I skip a day or two and then go back and write a couple of days' worth in my Grace for the Moment Journal. Max Lucado has so many excerpts from various books he has written. I don't know if I could ever write a book but a paragraph every day (or almost) has been good for me. Today I read:
Jesus was so focused on His task that He knew when to say "It is finished". [John 19:30] But He was not so focused on His goal that He was unpleasant...He could find beauty in lilies, joy in worship and possibilities in problems. [Just Like Jesus by Max Lucado]
Wow! I want to be like that. I lean toward the Type A personality, organized, analytical and focused. As I have gotten older, I break big projects down into small bites so I don't get overwhelmed rather than just working until it is finished all at one time though. Even so, I can get irritable when interrupted by daily annoyances which more often than not are the people I live with whom I should love SO much more than my projects or tasks. This thought about finding beauty, joy and possibilities in my daily life of a mom at home is one I'll remember and hopefuly live out. I'm sure there's a rose in my path today. Thanks, Max. I needed that today.
