Take time for the important stuff....

This next week is going to be nuts for me, especially tomorrow. I have to take my son to school, then find time to vote, then take my son for another assessment for his autism treatment, then take my dad to Pittsburgh for his radiation therapy. I have a feeling I'll be wondering if I'm coming or going before the day is over.

A very wise friend of mine (thanks Bob) sent me this poem this morning. I wanted to share it with everyone, because it's so true. Enjoy!

TIME TO PRAY

I got up quite early one morning

And rushed into the day,

I had so much to accomplish

I took no time to pray.

The problems just tumbled about me,

And heavier came every task;

“ Why doesn’t God help me,” I wondered,

He said, “ WHY DIDN’T YOU ASK ?”

I saw naught of joy or of beauty—

The day sped on, gray and bleak:

I asked “ Why won’t the Lord show me?”

He said,” BUT YOU DIDN’T SEEK !”

I tried to come into God’s presence;

I used all the keys at the lock,

God gently, lovingly chided,

“ MY CHILD, WHY DIDN’T YOU KNOCK?”

I woke up quite early this morning,

And paused 'ere entering the day:

There was so much to accomplish

I HAD TO TAKE TIME TO PRAY !
