WHAT MATTERS? What really matters today?

I have a doctor's appointment. I don't want to go. I told my daughter that I was thinking about calling and rescheduling it. She replied, "Mom, they won't have enough time to have anyone else fill that spot. And you're going to cancel just because you don't feel like going?"

Wow! Did that pinch!

It makes me think about commitments I've made to the Lord in the past. Things I didn't follow through on just because I didn't feel like doing it. The excuses I made: I'm tired. I don't have enough money to tithe this week. I want to do something else that sounds like so much more fun. There are other people who can do that; why am I always the one who has to do it? I didn't mean I'd surrender all just because I was singing "I Surrender All." I don't really want You to "Have Thine Own Way, Lord"; I want to have things my way.

What matters right now? I've got 25 minutes to get dressed and get to my doctor's appointment. So I gotta run. Talk to you later, SelahV. [copyrighted,selahvtoday,2007]
