Balance

As I was looking through some blog entries yesterday I noticed there was alot of discussions about busy-ness.  I found some wonderful advice given to some.  It made me think about busy-ness in my life.  Being an "ex-Martha" myself....it pays to ponder occasionally on these things to make sure I stay on the right path with the right attitude.  Here on the homestead there are so many things to do..the list is never ending.  But the key difference is balance.  Do you love the work that you do?  Are you at peace doing it?  Do you recieve joy from it?  I know alot of the things I do seem less than pleasurable to others...but to me I love it.  I remember the days of hustle and bustle-the people pleasing-schedules and goals to be achieved.  yuck!  I love my life now-I take great joy from it.  Yes I am busy-but it is the right kind of busy---In Balance.  There is nothing wrong with putting your hands to good work.  I hope this has helped someone.

11Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, 12so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.   1 Thessalonians 4:11-12
