Timer on:

“I’m late, I’m late for a very important date. No time to say hello, good-bye, I’m late, I’m late, I’m late…”

So starts the fun, little poem recited by the rabbit in a terrible hurry from Alice in Wonderland. This has been recited by me far too many times in my own life. Too often I feel like that rabbit. Do you? It seems everything is rush, rush, rush! How wearisome it becomes to always feel in a hurry. To make it worse for me, I am near retirement age. This hurry nonsense should have stopped by now.

One way I stop it is by walking every morning. HoneyPie, Buster and I take a daily walk in the mornings, rain or shine. A quiet walk helps set the pace for the day. I have always called them my ‘God walks’, as I converse with Him while watching a brand-new day wake up. Oh, how the Lord takes His time gently starting a new day! He is in no hurry.

Make the most of our time Scripture wisely tells us. Teach me to number my days so I may gain a heart of understanding.

Timer off.
