Quality Time

Time...don't you just sometimes hate the sound of that word? I do because I often don't feel like I have enough time. There are household chores to do, work to do for our jobs, dishes to wash, laundry to fold, a Christmas season to prepare for, and then there are relationships with people and God to maintain. Sometimes it just seems SO overwhelming!

Friday, I had a day off of work and I spent the morning running around doing errands, all in a rush. Then in the afternoon, I spent some quality time with a person in my life. I found myself forgetting about the time. I forgot about all of the things I HAD to do. I forgot about everything except the moment and the company, and it was wonderful. I even felt relaxed and happy. Do you know why? Because I gave myself over to some quality time.

Imagine what we would feel like if we could just give that kind of quality time to God! How much more would we feel refreshed and relaxed? Don't let this upcoming holiday season be a blur because of your busyness! Don't let the moments with friends and family pass because you are basting a turkey or trying to get that black Friday sale! Spend time in the moment with them and with God. Isn't that what the holidays are all about anyway?

Happy Thanksgiving!
