May. 23, 2006 - Priorities--what they are...what they should be

If a priority is determined by how much it takes to knock it off your to-do list, then my priorities have been messed up lately.  I know what I want my priorities to be....but what usually happens is #1 becomes The Urgent, #2 becomes What I Most Want Right Now, and #3 becomes Feeling Guilty for not having more biblical priorities.  So, I sat down the other day and came up with what my priorities *should* be.  Lord, help me get it right. You know my heart.

 

My Time, or What my Priorities Should Be

Hmmmm.  How have I been doing?  Well, as usual, the last is usually first, and the first is usually last.  But, these are how I want my life to look.  First things first.  If I aim at nothing, I'll hit it every time, right? Dear Lord, help me get on track.

It is a great list with lots of insights there! Thanks for sharing them.

I noticed you'd been visiting me so I popped on over to visit you and your anniversary celebrations made me cry!! How special.

Making a list sure puts things in perspective, doesn't it? I was just thinking I needed to do the same, but I'm not sure I can handle the guilt.
