It seems I never have enough time. It seems that my to do list never lacks tasks.<\/p>\n

It would seem that there is a disconnect between the two–too many tasks, too little time.<\/p>\n

Yet whatever tasks I put on my list and whatever time I plan to have, God divinely ordains both–and ordains them such that I have exactly the time I need to fulfill the tasks He has for me.<\/p>\n

\"Thankful<\/a><\/p>\n

This week I’m thankful…<\/b><\/p>\n

…for an extra snatch of time to visit my folks<\/b> in Lincoln this weekend–to see a movie together, to sit and chat, to eat with what family is still in Nebraska<\/p>\n

…for a recipe for cobbler<\/b> that just fit the time I had for it on Sunday morning<\/p>\n

…for a delightful time of celebrating with my flock<\/b>–just enjoying one another’s company at a potluck after church<\/p>\n

…for early mornings at work<\/b> and the extra productivity they bring<\/p>\n

…for earlier returns home<\/b> and the relaxation that brings<\/p>\n

…for a reminder to bathe before Bible study<\/b> last night<\/p>\n

…for a riotous after-Bible-study discussion<\/b> (which made me really glad I’d bathed before–we didn’t get home ’til midnight!)<\/p>\n

…for early morning awakenings<\/b> (I’m so grateful to have not overslept!)<\/p>\n

…for ridiculously busy days at work<\/b> and the grace I’m learning to extend to myself (Going home after ten hours even if all my work’s not done)<\/p>\n

…for the anticipation of this weekend<\/b>, when I’ll sit down with one of our elders and his wife to discuss doctrine and church membership<\/p>\n

And I’m thankful again for the God who sovereignly directs both my tasks and my time, fitting each together to accomplish His divine plan.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
