Dear God,

Do I focus too much on the "stuff" around me? Do I spend too much time accumulating, sorting, organizing, and putting away stuff to be used for a later time? Do I?

It seems we brought half of Indiana with us this time. I had so many boxes to unload, unpack, and put away. I spent the whole day doing this activity. Could I have spent my time better praying, worshipping, and serving others?

As I ponder my faith and life, I wonder how to simplify in order to be faithful to your call to me to be more than I am, to do your plan, to live out your will for my life. At day's end am I faithful? Have I served you well? Or have I just spent another day just juggling all my stuff?

Make me
an instrument
of your life,
dear God;
let my focus
be upon you
and your desires.
Teach me
the way
of love,
grace, compassion,
and service,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
