Too Busy…
Do you ever find yourself in a situation where you realize that you have allowed yourself to become too busy and you may have neglected some more important things in life? I think this happens to all of us from time to time, whether it is a spiritual experience where we realize we’ve allow “work” or “good things” (like ministry) to consume us instead of allowing God to consume us or in my case what happened to me yesterday!
I found myself in one of those situations. Me and Eric (our worship pastor) drove up to Maryville, TN to attend the funeral of one of our college roomates mother (that is another story). Apart from the obvious grief felt by all those in attendance, as you can imagine, I found myself surrounded by many friends that I have vaguely keep in contact with over the past few years. It was so awesome to see some people that I love, respect, appreciate and value their friendship. The problem was I have allowed myself to be so busy I had not keep in as close of contact as I wished I would have. I found myself thinking on the drive home of the “busyness” I allow myself to get involved in while I neglect simply picking up the phone or sending an email to stay in better contact with friends.
The sad thing is, when we too have breathed our last, will people remember us for all the “busy” work we accomplished, or for the friendship we shared with them?
Call someone today you haven’t talked to in a while and let them know you value their friendship!
