Oops! Did the title give it away? Good! This will be short and sweet.
We are on Week 3 of schooling. All has gone well up until today. I wanted to blame it on the fact that the boys had been out of town so two days of schooling didn't get accomplished.
Today was Hump Day....Wednesday...the first day this week to get "back on track" now that everyone was home. What a day! Nothing went right. Then as the day ended I reflected back on today realizing our priorities had gotten way off track. We went straight into school mode today and we forgot to do something very, very important. We forgot to have our Bible time this morning before we started our schoolwork.
Have you ever seen the object lesson about the jar, sand, pebbles, and rocks? The sand represents the very small things of life. The pebbles represent the slightly larger things in life, and the rocks represents the most important things in life. Can you guess what the jar represents? Yes, your life (or your day)! Depending on how they are placed in the jar depends on if all the items will fit. If you choose to fill your life (or day) with the things of little importance, you won't have time for the most important things. However, if you put your priorities in order and fill your life (or day) with the most important things, all the smaller things in life (or in your day) will fit in and surround themselves around the most important things. This little demonstration really puts things into perspective
So guess how our day tomorrow will start off? We will start with our Rock, Jesus Christ!
*If you have never seen this object lesson, here's one version of it (minus the pebbles):
Rocks and Sand: Priorities
