Busy Bee

2 Thessalonians 3:11-13 We hear that some among you are idle. They are not busy; they are busybodies. Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the bread they eat. And as for you, brothers, never tire of doing what is right.

What do your days look like? Are they filled with busy work, or meaningful work? You have a choice every morning on how you fill your day. This weekend was the Minnesota Yarn Shop Hop. I debated if I should travel to the 13 shops in the hop. In the end, I chose to attend Friday morning Bible Study, dropping my children off at the airport, eating out with my husband, watching a soccer match with my son and dinner with friends instead of hopping. My guide when making those decisions is to choose relationship over stuff.

It is not how busy you are, but why you are busy – the bee is praised, the mosquito is swatted. Author unknown
