priorities

This subject has been on my mind a lot lately, and in everything I do I see that we need to get our priorities straight. What is most important in your life? Do you put those things/those people first? Do you spend too much time on Facebook? We are all to blame for this (yes me too) Sometimes at the end of the day I go over the events of the day and realize I wasn’t productive. I watch Netflix and fill my head with junk or spend too much time on Facebook being nosey. I think really… I spent the whole day I had off of work doing that. How sad? What I am trying to say is that I realize this, and I am working on being a better steward of my time.

                God also wants us to not be busy bodies as Christians.  He wants us to relax and enjoy our family and him and the time we get away from our places of work. In all that we do though God should be priority number one, whether you are single, married, have children, or whatever you do God should be first. You should show your children and or spouse that God is the head of the household. You should be that example to your children. Let them know that friends, sports and hobbies are good and fun but make time to come to church, spend time with God, have family time.  Make those things the important things in your life and in your home. I think we can all work on this and I do not think anyone has perfected it yet. We live in a busy world, but God should be our number one and we should train our kids (in my case the kids I minister to) in that way. Know that you can ask God to show you how you can prioritize a little better, and he will help. J
