One of the big problems with life is that what we have to accomplish does not change due to our energy level. I for instance can barely move (for reasons unknown to me). So today I should just relax and recharge, but life doesn't work that way.
Today DawnMarie is leaving early to take Alyssa to a soccer tournament. I am taking the kids with me to church. At church today I will be doing the sermon, communion, a baptism, 1st Advent Reading, setting up the Sunday school area for advent, setting up the church for advent. It is a busy day.
People get upset with me for not resting more, but I don't see them stepping up and taking care of business. The fact is some things just have to get done and I am the one who has to do it.
What I find funny is that people love to talk like their concerned saying, "why didn''t you tell me/us how your feeling?" or "let me know when you need to stop". But when I say I think that's enough, or we don't need to do anything more, or why commit ourselves to one more thing, or I am getting tired, they don't want to hear that. They want to do that one more thing...well there are consequences to pushing my body to hard.
The funny thing is I don't care anymore if people are upset when I am done I am done. SO...today I have to do the sermon, communion, and baptism. Everything else...we'll see.

Thank you to the children who do the first reading for Advent, you did a great job! Thank you Isabella for setting up the Christmas tree for CED, you were very helpful. A special thank you for everyone who stayed after church to help set up the church for Christmas. Everything looks great!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately people will not come to you and ask specifically what they can go to help. Talk to people and ask for them to do specific tasks. They may surprise you.

I would use a profile but it confuses me.
