I've said it many times. Karen and I are fortunate to be able to live as we do, to serve God as we do and have a freedom which many people we know, do not have. We're not specially gifted with a trust fund, unlimited wealth or the power to tell others what to do or how to live their lives. We're not limited by pets, children, grandchildren, jobs which require a set work schedule or by responsibilities which require us to live by a fixed routine or tells us when we can take time off for vacations or travel. We have been blessed with enough financial means and the places we have chosen to serve God, which allow us to pretty much live as we want to.
We still must adhere to schedules, adjust our travel and volunteer service times, medical appointments, shopping trips and many other activities to times that others set for us, but it's amazing how easy that can be when we just do a little planning, communicate effectively and adjust our lives to get done what needs to be done when we can find ways to fit into others' available time for us.
In the big picture, God controls time, provides sufficient time for each of us to get things done, helps us appropriate time in such a way that we get multiple things accomplished at the same time, gives us time to rest, sleep and get where we need on time and with sufficient time to complete the needed task. One day, time will be a thing of the past. In Eternity, time will not matter, everything will be accomplished when it needs to be, there will be no such thing as being late or tardy, calendars will be unnecessary and we will not be rushed or be restricted by speed limits or the victim of a radar gun on the highway. We will always be on time, no matter how late or early we arrive, and we will not need watches, clocks, cell phones, GPS or Metamucil to keep us "regular". What a wonderful day that will be.
As for this blog.........time's up.
