Procrastination Pays Off
Read Psalm 133
Today in worship service Charlie made
one of his many treks up to the lectern to appeal to our church
family to write something for the annual Lenten Devotion Book.
Immediately the guilt settled in because every year I say I’m not
going to wait until the last minute to write a devotion and every
year I am writing it just days before the deadline.
This year my procrastination may have
worked in my favor because he offered that we could look back on the
church website and see writings from prior years. I took him up on
that and re-read may of the devotions written by others over the last
several years. But more importantly I re-read my own. One of them
was about getting involved at GPUMC and the blessings I had received
from doing that.
Four years ago I was appointed
president of the CPA firm that I work at and am a part owner in. That
was the beginning of the end for me and getting involved. It was the
beginning of getting involved in every nook and cranny of the
business but because that was so time consuming it was the end of me
getting involved in anything else. As I was reading the devotion I
had written I reflected back on coffee hour the last few months and
realized that I was losing that connection that makes GPUMC such a
great church to be a part of; and why you say! Because I am not
really very involved! I used to be but not so much anymore. Reading
that devotion made me realize that I need to be because I miss the
blessings being a real part of our wonderful church family brings.
So for once my procrastination paid
off.
Prayer: Lord thank you for my church
family.
