At this time of year, we often take stock, reflecting on what is ... and what isn't ... important in our lives.
Here is a partial look at my list:
Important:
Handwritten Christmas cards with a personal message.
Unimportant:
A beautifully decorated house.
Important:
Being able to help our grandchildren wtih braces, special classes, etc.
Unimportant:
A new car. (Mine is circa 2000.)
Important:
Paying tithing to the Lord.
Unimportant:
Expensive clothes. (I am queen of garage sales.)
Important:
Loyalty to my friends.
Unimportant:
Wordly awards.
Doubtless you have other things on your list. Take a moment or two and decide what belongs on your important list and what you can let go. It may surprise you.
Joy for today: evaluating my priorities.
