Don't forget to Enjoy Life

One of the most frustrating thing I deal with in life is that i NEVER have finished completely everything that i think i need or i want to do. As soon as one thing is completed, there is something else to be done. In one sense, i have to accept that this is life! But, i also need to remember that God has given me enough time to do all that he really wants me to do. As wise Solomon said:

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

But somehow, even knowing that everything has its time, I sometimes become consumed with working and doing, and I forget to relex and enjoy my life. We all have more we want to do than we will ever fully accomplish, but we must learn to stop and play a little along the way. Thank goodness I have some friend who love to "play" and can help me loosen up when i need to. Spend time with people you love to be with; take time to do some of the things you enjoy doing. Sometimes, it is better to ignore housework and spend time with our family and friend. The housework will always be there; precious moments with our loved ones won't!

I put up a little sigh in my kitchen that says "Live~ Laugh~ Love" - a great reminder to live life richly, laugh a lot and make room for the people I love. Isn't that what getting it all done is really all about?
