enough hours in the day?

ENOUGH HOURS IN THE DAY?

(taken from Day 41 in the book 100 Days of Blessing by Nancy Campbell)

Said the robin to the sparrow,

"I should really like to know,

Why these anxious human beings

Rush about and worry so."

Said the sparrow to the robin,

"Friend I think that it must be,

That they have no Heavenly Father,

Such as cares for you and me."

Are you like me? I have so many visions, so many ideas, and so many things I want to do, but can never find the time to do them all. "If only I had more time! I need 48 hours in every day!" I would constantly sigh. But not anymore! I will no longer let these words pass my lips.

There is no need to put expectations upon yourself or your children that God doesn't  put upon you.  Listen to these words from Psalm 103:14, "He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust." Isn't that comforting? God understands our frame, because He created us. He created us with the ability to work for one day, not to put two days of work into one!

It is most important to set goals and write your list for the day. You will accomplish a lot more with a list. But remember, it's not the end of the world if you don't cross off everything on your list. Even if you cross off one or two things, you are accomplishing something. Psalm 90:12 says, "So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom."

Thanks Nancy Cambell! I need to remind myself of that often. 

Be Blessed...Melissa
