Whose Time is it Anyway?

As I was reading through the travel section of the Sunday paper, it occurred to me how easy it is to get locked into our own little world.  There is so much to see and do in real time let alone in internet time.  I love to travel, experience new things, meet new people, discover new information.  Life is so diverse and interesting even within a short distance from my doorstep.

Which leads me to confess that I have been whining a bit lately about circumstances that have impacted my freedom to explore.  Poor pitiful me.  Having to be available to help someone with difficult circumstances is nothing compared to being the one who is actually living with those difficult circumstances.  Honestly, sometimes I am just so pathetic.  I really do believe that life is better when we are not totally self-absorbed but sometimes I forget to plug into my belief system and get, well, totally self-absorbed.

Life is a balance.  Sometimes time is my own and sometimes it belongs to those I have been called to serve.  In reality, it's all His and I'm just trying to honor and enjoy the time I've been given.
