~I received a forward I actually appreciated and found encouraging the other day . It was from the mother of our daughter-in-law, Breezy. I thought I would share some of the wisdom contained within it for your blessing. It is a list of suggestions to help remind us we do not need to worry, and there are things we can to do to keep life and our responsibilities in perspective.
- Pray ( that should go without saying)
- Go to bed on time ( what is "on time"?)
- Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed
- Here's the biggy for me, Say NO to projects that won't fit into your time schedule , or will compromise your mental health ( or proper priorities)
- Delegate tasks to capable others ( I need to find some of those 'others')
- Simplify and unclutter your life. (I am trying, I am trying!)
13. K.M.S. ( Keep Mouth Shut) This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
14. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.
15. Get enough rest.
16. Get organized so everything has it's place.
17. Every day find time to be alone. and I think this goes with the next....
18. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot.
19. Make friends with Godly people.
20. Develop a forgiving attitude.
21. Be kind to unkind people ( they probably need it the most)
22. Sit on your pride.
23. Talk less, listen more.
24. Slow down.
25. REMIND YOURSELF YOU ARE NOT THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE UNIVERSE!
26. Every night , think of at least one thing you are grateful for and thank God for it!
These are all pretty good suggestions and general enough I can find applicable to every area of my life in accordance to what scripture teaches me ..."Moreover, man does not know his time..." and "The words of the wise heard in quietness are better than weapons of war..." Ecclesiastes 9: 12, 17
