Mending My days

Albert Bogle September 03, 2016 0 0

Psalm 90:12

“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”

The weekend has arrived. Saturday is often a day for catching up, a day for maintaining life and relationships. Some people will be preparing for guests coming round later. Some will still be sleeping while the morning unfolds. Others will be catching up with domestic chores. Some fortunate people will be going on holiday. When the day ends it is not what we have done that matters it will be what we have contributed that really matters. Taking that one small step to restore a lost relationship could reconnect a whole network. Now that is the kind of net contribution that is worth mending.
 

 

Lord,

I like Saturdays

I like when I can ease into the day

Take my time

Enjoy breakfast

Turn on the radio

Catch up with the sport

Reflect on the past week

 

Lord

I enjoy taking time

In your presence

Listening

Thinking

Considering

Connecting

Mending

Turning things over 

Resting

Preparing for Sunday

I like days 

Like these

To often its

Rush

Rush 

Rush

No time

 

Forgive me 

For the days

When I appear to have done so much

But contributed so little

Help me mend my days.
