What Do I Do Now?

It Wasn't What I Planned On Doing.

Life and Living

Part Sixteen

I have a problem that some of you can help me with.

While doing yard work or hobby work, I must focus on doing one thing at a time.

For example, I notice something else to do when I walk from here to there.

It can be completely unrelated to what I had intended to do, but I stopped and began to take care of that smaller project.

I might need to do it, but not at that time.

With this problem, I might not accomplish what I wanted to finish.

I get sidetracked in these small projects that also need to be done, but there are other things that I had thought of doing.

I like all the little things I get done, but they were not what I had thought of doing that day.

As I am writing this and getting it finally "spoken" (well documented), I wonder if God is helping me see what other things I should have been doing but hadn’t put in my "plans for the day."

I don’t want to blame God for being sidetracked, but I wonder if he is still leading me, so I am getting other projects done.

As I said, I don't want to blame God for my curious manners.

(If he leads me, I thank him for helping me do some of these other little things.)

Well, this is part of my Life and Living.

I wasn't planning on writing about it. It just came to my mind as I sat down to write.

This is a P.S.

You can see the original date of this article. My wife, Carol, passed away on November 2, 2023, and I noticed that I still have that tendency as I work in the house. I do have a more challenging time keeping it picked up and cleaned up since tracking in the leaves happens each time I walk in and out with the leaves staying wet.

Thank you, and God bless you for any comment or encouragement.
