It's Friday morning. Monday morning I'm leaving Here to go There, and afterward Somewhere else. To begin with, I'm going to help with preps for our Spring convention. Kara is going with me to have a few special days next week with her worker-sister, Jana.
But, this morning I needed to get those weeds out of the flower bed. Small ones hide there, out of sight until they are suddenly BIG and difficult to pull. If I go away and leave them it will soon look like the "field of the slothful" that we read about in Proverbs; "thorns and nettles covered the face thereof".
While I pulled and dug and tugged and sweated I thought about the "garden" in my heart. How many "weeds" have I missed seeing there? "Weeds" of pride; of selfishness? Am I concerned enough about my "garden" to check each day? Willing for roots to be dug out?
On another note, my friend commented the other day as we visited over lunch, "you work well under pressure!" I've been thinking about that, and realize it is true. If I have a deadline, I can meet it. What I wish is that even when there is no deadline, no pressure, I would "work well" anyway! Now that I must get ready to leave, there are 100 things I can think of to do first - and mostly they have been here to do all the time.
I'll leave you for now and go get my suitcase packed.
