INSPIRASUNS

This morning, as I sat down to write this little blog, I noticed a few files on the desktop of my laptop. I was doing some work last night for my senior golf group and realized I hadn’t saved the files in their folders. So, I did some quick clean-up work, putting them where they should go. While I was in the folders, I then realized that several folders I had set up weren’t named consistently. So…I renamed some files so that everything was consistent and in order.

This little process reminded me of yesterday when I spent some time cleaning up files at work I made sure files were named correctly, tidied up some spreadsheets, again making them consistent, and put away files that I had been holding on my desk for a while, you get the idea I’m a little type “a” when it comes to consistency.

I think there is something to being orderly and structured. Maybe not to the extent of my type “a” structure, but I think being so helps us stay focused, keeps us moving forward and our overall outlook is better. It reminds me of when we go through a natural disaster, hurricanes in our case. I know how I’ve felt following the last two that hit our area. I was out of sorts, I didn’t quite know where to start, and each day that things were out of order made me sad and unsettled.

Isn’t our relationship with Father similar? I know if I miss having a talk with Him in the morning or evening, I notice it. Something is missing. When challenges arise, or when something wonderful happens, and I take the time to sit with Him to help guide me, well my overall outlook is better. When my relationship with Father is in sync, when it’s in order so to speak I feel stronger, I feel like I can handle whatever this world brings. So I do my best to keep that relationship tidied up 🙂 .

I guess I’m stretching things a bit in the message this morning, but I hope you get what I mean. The closer we are to Father, keeping our relationship with him consistent, spending time with Him each day, not just in the difficult times, well, it makes us stronger, and our outlook brighter.

Have a good day friends, thanks for letting me ramble a bit 🙂 .
