It is that time of year again, the time when we all hunker down to get back at it...back to real life. Setting schedules, back to bed times and meal times... proper ones. Phones are ringing with calls that are telling us times and places to be and how to get there. We are searching out the details we need to know from news papers, lists taped to doors, computer postings and from friends who know more.
When I was a young mom, this was not my favorite time of year, I loved having my children home with me, I loved the carefree days of summer but I also looked forward to having a schedule...organized time. Even though I am in a different place and time in this life, still, I am affected by this time of year, even a Nana has a schedule. But what I think of as we all start setting our schedules is how quickly we can get caught up in all the planning.
With all this planning in the air, let's remember to look and see who we are planning for. We need to remember to consider one another, especially those we love, that as we go about it, all this planning, to offer encouragement, to think of showing love, compassion, respect...we are all God's children, hoping for good.
"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds."
Hebrews 10:24
As we head out of summer and back to real life...enjoy your planning...and God Bless.
