we run from activity to activity. seeking more to fill every moment of our day. seeking fulfillment that will satisfy. but are we really finding any real purpose in all these multiple endeavors?
are you satisfied with your life on the run? am I?
I hesitate for just a moment (long enough to look at the calendar and see where I'm supposed to be right now.).
are we willing to allow a little margin?
I see friends and family that run, run, run. Taking themselves and their kids from ballet to soccer to church to piano lessons to karate to who knows where. I have adult friends that go from their jobs to teaching lessons to volunteer activities to the next community get together.
I've been them. I've lived that life.
the page runs closer and closer to the edge of the sheet. the margins shrinking with each addition to the schedule.
create margin. create space for you, for your family to breathe. to find more life in moments. there will always be the rush, the coming and going in our lives, but some days just need the clean white space created by plenty of margin.
