Sunday Blogvotional: Find Peace in an Overloaded Life

Do you feel overworked? Is each day a battle to accomplish left over duties and all of today’s “must do‘s“? Do some days feel like a rat race and the rat’s ahead.

This is not what God planned for us. We are created in his image. Can you see him running around like that? Peace. Just saying the word can make us feel better. It brings forth an image of serenity and tranquility like a lazy afternoon on the beach.

Peace is what the world needs more than anything else. What if we took a good look at our duties and made a list at the beginning of each week of what we must do and what we truthfully can eliminate. And then add in some fun things, the kind of things that make life enjoyable again. When you see it in black and white suddenly life isn’t so daunting anymore and needed peace can be restored to that area of our life.

Seek peace and pursue it.  Psalm 34:14b

Encouragement for the week: This is a busy time of the year and it's easy to get so lost in all the to-do's that you don't even enjoy the season.  Decide what has to be done, then eliminate a few things that don't.  Take time for yourself and your family to enjoy the season.  Usually the best times together are those where nothing much is planned.  Simple togetherness is peaceful.
