Stop the Insanity!

Hey everyone!  Again, it’s been crazy around here. Overtime at work, overtime at home.  So I think it’s time to stop the craziness and just RELAX.  I’ve decided to just take 30 minutes every day to something fun or relaxing.  Not a new idea or anything, but one that will hopefully worked.  The stress of everything has been getting to me, and it’s honestly driven me close to a breaking point.  Then I hear about things that other people are going through and I think, “They would probably do anything to have my life.”  Okay, my life with a lot more money, but you get the picture.  I’ve got a great husband, three wonderful boys, in-laws that take the cake, a mom, dad, brothers, sister, and niece (and another one on the way!!!) that love me.  I live in a nice house (cluttered, a little dusty, Mt. Clothesmore, lots of weeds outside, and Scooby fur everywhere despite daily brushing.  He may be bald soon if he doesn’t keep his fur to himself.) and a car that runs…on a lot of gas, but hey, it runs. I also have a job, and where I live jobs are as scarce as chicken’s teeth, especially when they are shutting down yet another furniture factory.  After I thought about all of that, I decided that even though I feel like things are pushing me down, those things are given to me by God, and those things (job, family) are worth it.  I live a mostly normal life and I’m able to serve my King.  Sometimes you have to stop and put things in perspective!  Hope everyone has a great week and doesn’t let the “stuff” get you down!  Be thankful for what you have, and if you know the Lord, that’s the most important thing of all!
