Busy yet grateful!

Whew! This has been quite the insane season for me!! I feel that I've hardly had a moment to take a breath. And I don't see the end in sight! And yet, I'm reminded of what a rich life God has given me!! Full of family, friends, meaningful service and a wonderful church. God has been so kind and given me far more than I deserve. So while I am busy, I am grateful!!! It is so good of the Lord to give meaning to our days, isn't it?? Take a moment and praise Him midst the busyness. When we stop and realize that the reason we are busy is that God has given us so many blessings, it all comes into focus. And what for me can be self-motivated striving suddenly turns into grateful and dependent serving!
