It’s fun Friday A2Z blog hop day and this week’s letter is O. O is for order. I love order in my life. I love order in my home, my workplace, and my yard. I love order in my family and in my relationships. I love three days of newspapers stacked in order. I love my desk at the fit club clean and ordered just so. Let’s just say I love all my ducks in a row.
I spend a lot of time and energy getting those ducks in line. Then one has to take off. I go running after that duck and the rest scatter over the pond. I expend a lot of time and energy until they drive me crazy. Then I turn to God. “God, help me regain control over these ducks. I just can’t do it by myself.”
God says, “You always come to me when the ducks are helter-skelter. I listen to you, then together we go about setting them right again. You thank me. In a short time we repeat this cycle. Wouldn’t it be better to come to me before the first duck scatters? Then you wouldn’t have to expend all that energy rounding them up.”
Hmmm. Point well-taken.
At the fit club I clean clean surfaces and check machines that are in fine shape. Daily. The ducks stay in a row. Members always are assured a safe machine and a clean bathroom. So it should be with talking to God. Go over each member of the family with Him each day. Go over friends and finances that are doing just fine, in addition to the ones on our prayer lists that aren’t. The ducks stay in a row. Order is achieved. Less energy is expended chasing ducks and can be used for more productive things.
And so, as another day goes by, order is maintained longer by practicing preventative maintenance through prayer about all the things in our lives that are just fine, and…I have written.
Love this post! Thanks for sharing, Linda!
In my job, there is no real order, for things change all the time so I have to go with the flow!
