Busyness

Before I went to church tonight I was thinking how busy our days are sometimes. I especially think this on Wednesdays since I work all day, run straight home, take a shower, get the kids together and run out the door to church. When we eat at church like we did tonight I have 30minutes from the time I get home from work to the time we have to be on the road headed to church. Then we get home around 9, do homework and go to bed. Well tonight at church our preacher talked on being too busy to see what is around us. He said how sometimes we will notice the beautiful flowers at a Botanical Garden but we won't see the beauty of the flowers in our own backyard. I have definitely been making a point this year of looking around me more and trying to remember to appreciate more (that was my 2010 goal) but what struck me in all that he said tonight was how in all our busyness... there isn't loneliness.
