TOO BUSY???

spending time with family

I’m busy; some days more 
than I want to be.

I may be busy, 
but never too busy, you see,

To drop all that I’m doing 
to talk with you,

To change my plans, 
do what you want to do.

To laugh, to listen, 
to love, say a prayer.

If you ever need me - 
I’ll make time to be there.

I’ve finally learned 
to put my Jesus first!

Long, long ago 
I was filled with such thirst!

I’d lived long enough 
in that desert so dry!

It was time for a change 
or I’d surely die.

I said, “Busyness keeps me 
away from You,

And what keeps me from You 
is idolatry too!” 

I finally got 
my priorities straight!

         I'll be glad to chat  - now 

         or arrange a lunch date!

Now Christ is always 
First in my life,

Then I make time for us - 
hubby and wife.

God slowed me down 
and did me a favour!

I MAKE time for family, 
for friends or my neighbour.

My life is in balance. 
No tension. No fight!

 May I always keep busy 
doing what’s right!

and that is my heartfelt prayer
for this year again!!
