Hello ,

Are you busy? 

Do you sometimes feel like you're so busy that there hardly seems to be enough time to take a "breather?" 

When you awake in the morning, does your mind immediately pick up where it left off when you went to sleep with all the things you need to accomplish, today?

Jesus had some difficult things to say about making sure that our priorities are straight when it comes to His kingdom and a relationship with Him.

Here's one example:

The seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

Luke 8:14

Here's a gentle "nudge" to anyone who struggles (like I do) with the "busy-ness" of life:

If you're too busy to stay firmly connected to Jesus, you're TOO busy! A relationship with Him is our most valuable asset.

Have a great day and God bless!
