"What really matter are the hearts we touch and the lives we influence."
How often do we decide to put the things in our lives about the people and relationships in our lives? Pretty often? I find myself needing to get things done and done right before I spend time with my hubby or spend time with friends. It seems to often get pushed aside to a "later time" so that I can make sure I get all my stuff done. This is something that I need to realize needs to change!
"What is the best use of my time today?" is a question that I need to ask myself daily. I need to prioritize what I need to get done and then focus on the relationships I need to nurture and focus on.
The most important thing to do is realize who in your life needs understanding, affirmation, validation, appreciation and to do the best you can to accommodate and meet the needs of the people in your life! This is what matters and this is what is most important!
Remember Mary and Martha? Well, Jesus said that Mary was doing the most important thing...and it wasn't the chores - it was spending time with Him and focusing on the relationships in her life!
"We are obsessed with doing that we have no time and no imagination left for being. As a result, men are valued not for what the are but for what they do or what they have - for their usefulness."
Thomas Merton
