Nov.5 – “Quality of Life Issues”

November 5, 2009

Im trying to remember the last time I was bored.  Like legit bored, not just I don”t have something pressing to for the next ten minutes.  It seems like life is pretty full, pretty fast, pretty crazy.  I was thinking a little about the life Jesus said He came to give His followers, in Jn 10:10.  He described it as abundant life.  Now normally I think of abundant as “lots”.  But as I dwell on it, Im more inclined to think its more than just quantity, but quality of life.  By this I mean that its not tjust staying busy, just avoiding boredom, or even just being productive.  It is about having a rich quality that may be brief or fleeting.  Or just having the kind of day where you didnt check a bunch stuff off but yet in ways was a great day.  Some days can just be wasted for the glory of God, if that makes any sense.

I say this because right now I feel super busy but not horribly abundant. Im running faster and longer, doing more, and it feels a little empty, not like it should.  My guess is this means I need to not do more, but maybe do less, better?  Or at least enjoy what Im involved in for the glory of God.  Maybe thats it.

what dou YOU think?
