Quoteboard: Hurry Up and Slow Down

3/5/2012

0 Comments

 
"I can't remember a farmer who was ever in a hurry.  Farmers characteristically work hard, but there is too much work to do to be in a hurry."
                                                                                                           -  Eugene Peterson
 
     Are you a blur of activity, a hurried mess?  Do your friends to think, "He's/she's too busy for me"?  Do you want your children to eulogize at your funeral, "Yes, he was always working"?  Or, "She was always on her phone." 

      You are not the axis on which the world turns.  Your "hurry, worry, and flurry" is a sin.  You think too much of yourself.  Yes, you have work to do.  And it will get done.  But God can get on without you if he wants.  Count it a blessing that he invites you into his work at all. 


       Now get off the computer and go for a walk.
