One Of These Days

Do you have a to do list? Phil and I do, and it's long. A long list of things to do around the farm, the house, and within our life. We are constantly saying, "One of these days we'll..."
...trim the hedges
...clean out the garage
...clean out the attic
...finish the barn
...build more shelves for the linen closet
...re-stain the dock
...fix the leak in the sunroom roof
...fix the broken burner on the stove
...exercise more
...finally get a job!!
It just seems like it never ends, but today we were able to take advantage of some gorgeous weather and finish the first on the list. While outside we had the radio turned on to my favorite christian radio station (New Life 91.9) out of Charlotte. A song by FFH came on called One Of These Days. If you haven't heard it, check it out here. I immediately started thinking about how often I go about my day constantly looking around at all of the stuff that seems to clutter my life, but neglect to pay attention to the God that created it all. Our God who created our life and stands to guide us through all of it if we would just turn to Him. I neglect to remind myself daily that one of these days I'll meet my Savior face to face. How dare I ignore using every second I can for His glory while here on earth and instead get wrapped up in all that I feel I need to get done one of these days. Rather than uttering, "One of these days I'll get to that list" and planning my day around all that I feel needs to get done, I should be reminding myself that one of these days I'll come face to face with Christ. I need to be planning my days around growing closer to Him, deepening our relationship, and discovering His plans for me everyday. It suddenly becomes quite clear that my to do list isn't quite as pressing as I once thought it was.
