Spinning Round
'“Where no counsel is, the people fall; but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.” Psalms 11:14
Hello again! Greetings from this side of the world! I know it has been a whirlwind of days and some of you have feelings of inadequacy. Maybe it feels as if the world is spinning round the wrong way and it has set your part of the world on edge! So many task at hand. Household chores, meetings, appointments for you or for the kids, preparing meals! The list really does go on and on. Your mind is set on spinning round! You have tried to arrange a stopping point but it just hasn’t happened; YET! Stop now in your haste; take a deep breath and ask God to just slow your mind down for a moment. Breathe in His peace. So now, grab a pen and paper, list all these needs into urgent, today, tomorrow, least important. Even Jesus chose apostles, prophets, evangelist, pastors and teachers. Each has a duty, each had a profession and some had family obligations. But they succeeded. Take your list and put someone in your family’s name beside the ones that they can help you with! Delegate the task at hand and work through it all! We are all strong and resilient BUT, there comes a time when working as a team within a family setting WORKS so much better. Push aside the thoughts that say, “they won’t do it right”; it’s not about the “right”, it’s about just letting it get done! This way you will have more time to come back and add your touches to those tasks! If you are single and no one to delegate the list to, there is HOPE! Look at the list and begin with the most necessary and take one at a time! Make it fun without clouding your mind! Spinning round is only fun if you are at the park or dancing in the rain!

Father, today we are thankful for your guidance in our daily tasks. We thank you for giving us strength to complete those tasks but the conscious mentality to know when we need help from others. Help us to move forward in this journey with your help and the help of others; while taking one task, one day at a time. Amen.
