Sustainability

I received this from our Deputy PRM, a good reminder e.

Life cannot always be balanced, as there are seasons of frantic activity in all walks of life. Yet, a sustainable lifestyle long term is a healthy goal for each of us to aim for.

Below are some thoughts that may be a timely reminder for many of us.
God created time and set the earth in motion giving us 24 hours each day! Time is God's gift to us. When spent wisely, there is ample time for nurturing relationship, fulfilling dreams and experiencing joy.

You know you are over-committed when...
- You cannot get an average of 8 hours rest in a 24 hour day
- You do not have time to sit and eat with your family
- A small interruption is a major problem
- You are too impatient while driving because you are running late
- You forget to pay bills (I must admit that I forget to pay bills regularly ... a result of forgetful genes maybe...)
- You have piles of mail and laundry left undone
- You have no time to sit and chat with your spouse or children
- You cannot recall the last time you sat and relaxed with a friend
- You lost something due to lack of time to put it in it's proper place (I realise some of us regularly lose things, no matter how relaxed we are!)
- You feel like life has no joy

We cannot create more minutes or days. Therefore we are accountable to our Heavenly Father in the wise use of what he has given us. Too much promised for the hours over-commits the time.

May He give you the wisdom to live sustainably for His glory in the situation He has placed you.
