I really don't know why I'm not posting anymore. I don't know what has happened to me but I haven't even seen nienie's baby thats how out of the blogging loop I am! I'm in the moment right now with my kids, I'm crazy to type right now. I've been hand writing things down this summer in a journal. I've lost my purpose of blogging at all. I think part of it was when I started running I didn't have that great need to express myself and get out because I was getting so much fresh air most mornings. I started thinking maybe I shouldn't give my thoughts for everyone to read. There must be a balance somewhere that I can find. I'm struggling knowing which good things to focus on.
The law of sacrifice is like the law of gravity. It is so tangible and real. Most people don't even know they live with this law. There is only so much time in a day. If you do something in any moment, than your not doing something else in that moment. Something else is being sacrificed when you decide to do something in any given moment. So it is with projects, activities, errands, etc.... If you spend half the morning grocery shopping and the afternoon painting something, you can't make bread, soup and laundry, and scrapbook, etc....Sacrifices are being made bad or good.
We all have to make sacrifices to have certain things. What is the most important thing to you? What are you willing to sacrifice to have it? You can't have it all. Its impossible in this life.
I hope to figure it out. Or if I do figure it out I hope to realize it and enjoy it.
One day at a time.
This topic of Sacrifice reminds me of the greatest novel I have ever read. This summer I read Les Miserables. Jean Val Jean sacrificed all he had for others and was completely selfless. The next day after I finished the book I was reading the visiting teaching message for the month and it was about being a disciple of Jesus Christ through sacrifice and service. I felt like Wow I can do so much more!
Jesus Christ gave up everything in this world including his life for me and you. How can I complain or feel sad about my small sacrifices? Perspective is so hard to keep! One day at a time...
Off to make dinner! Love and Light~
