Balance

For some reason I always thought that when your children grew up, got married, and left home that things would slow down for us. Well, nothing could be further from the truth. I believe we are busier now than we ever were. Between work and church just about every evening has something going. The good side of that is that we are not sitting at home twiddling our thumbs and we are involved in Kingdom work - work that will have a lasting impact on eternity. However the flip side of that is I think we need a bit more "down" time to rest and recharge. We can get too busy that our own relationships - with God and with each other - can suffer. Somewhere, somehow I believe we need to find that balance . . . soon.
