This year, I’m so grateful for the gift of time. Time with my family, time with my dear friends, time with my God & time with myself!
Life is busy and Christmas break is one of the few moments in time when our calendars are cleared and we are given the opportunity to rest and enjoy those we love. I’m choosing to give purpose to every second of my break. Whether it’s a movie with my kids, breakfast with my husband, lunch with my bestie, coffee with my family, a devotional at sunset, an extra 2 hours of sleep or a cup of hot tea and a book in my favorite chair, it is my mission to make every second count.
Often times we are so concerned with our calendar and our deadlines that we forget what matters most! Put your phone down and use this break to look up and see what you’ve been missing!! The joy of spending time with your family, the luxury of watching T.V. in your pjs, the beauty of nature.
Have you been so busy trying to keep up with life that you’ve disconnected from the people and things that you love, lost your values and forgotten your roots? This is a great time to re evaluate your life and establish or re establish your standard. I know I’m looking back at my schedule and deciding what matters and what I can do without! I’m checking myself for balance, I know I need to spend more time with my family, kids and friends. I’m even going to check my marriage. Ask my husband how we’re doing, how is he feeling, what is he missing. If I lose my relationship with God, my husband, my kids, and my family, I have nothing! So if I’m too busy to meet their needs and nourish these relationships, something’s GOT to go!
What will you do with your break? How will you use this precious gift of time?
I’m confident that if I use this time wisely, I’ll be unstoppable in 2017! I’m resting now, but look out 2017 .. I’m READY for ya!
