BALANCED WEEKEND

Most of you who know us, know we live a very busy life. Our lifestyle is one that is BUSY, BUSY, BUSY. But lately we have been doing our best to simplify as many routine processes in our life as possible. It is something we can all do. Our lives don’t need to be incredibly complicated. I know I don’t want my life to be complicated.

So this weekend, we concentrated on BALANCE. Friday night, we ran all of our errands, Saturday we worked our little butts off around the house (laundry, cleaning, etc…) and were rewarded with a firework show later on in the evening. The City was having a “Blues and Jazz Festival” downtown and they set off fireworks and we were able to view them from our deck. Beautiful…… Sunday, we were able to relax and enjoy each other’s company without having tons of stuff to get done.

I think it is important to understand God’s definition of balance, which is Himself. Let me explain…. Nothing held back but never rushed, never without means, never lacking, never worried, never rushed, always sensible, always gracious, always firm and always, always merciful, gracious and kind.

As we concentrate on having more of a balance life, we also want to concentrate on having a full life. A life of passion and purpose. A life that pursues what we are created to do and that makes us come alive to bring greater good in the world around us. We truly believe that the best thing about having a full life is that when you have a full life, you will have a balanced one.

So you see it all works out in the end! :)
