Your head is heavy, your eyes are sore, your back aches from eight hours of balancing your accounts. Just when you thought you are through, you find that your account is short by 0.01. Your world seems to crumble around you while you become frustrated because after a whole days work, you have to go over them again!
It is the same as our balance sheet called life. We are all give 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, yet we feel that it is still not enough for us to finish all of our work. Just imagine spending at least 9 hours a day at work, 1 hour to prepare to go to work, 3 hours of travel time,1 hour for dinner, 1 hour to oversee your business, 3 hours of prayer meeting, 2 hours with your kids and 1 hour to rest and prepare for bed. Its only a Monday and all I have left is 3 hours of sleep then I have to wake up and do it all again! (I'll sleep when I'm dead) Our weekend schedule is pretty much the same as we have to do a lot of errands to catch up with what we've missed during the week due to our busy schedule.
It's really hard not having balance in your life. If you're not careful, you'll get burned. I'm currently working on getting back that balance between work, service and family. It would be nice to have some spare time to kick back and relax. To stop and smell the roses. To save some time and energy so that I could use them in time of need.
Working for a living and serving others is always a good thing to do. Just take everything in moderation. Too much of a good thing can also be bad for us. Remember, even God rested on the seventh day. Rest is also an essential part of our life. It helps us keep our body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit, healthy and battle ready for the tasks at hand. It's always good to have balance in our life.
Now, it's time for me to rest.
