This morning while making up my nieces bed, I found myself thinking this is good enough. Normally, when I start a task I want to do my best. However, this morning I was feeling a little rushed and thought this is good enough, but it wasn't. I thought no she deserves a nicely made bed and this is not good enough, I'm capable of so much more! It seems pretty minor as I'm reading the words but pride in workmanship is real. The habit begins small but can ultimately have a larger impact. As I continue to grow and mature it becomes more evident that no matter what I'm doing, making a bed or making a presentation, ultimately I am representing my workmanship, my skills. I'm representing me. How are you representing you?
I know, today is Fathers Day so why is thi blog called Grandma? Survey says . . . I was suppose to post this YESTERDAY! Happy Father's Day! Today is Sunday, the last day in the two day weekend. I will go to church this morning come home this afternoon, cook dinner, conduct my weekly radio broadcast, Thinking Beyond Your Current Circumstances on LA Talk Radio, wash my daughter's hair and ultimately prepare for tomorrow. Merely thinking about all my "to do's" could easily overwhelm me, yet some how it doesn't. I am very lucky that God allows me to serve and to do things that bring me joy. Though Sunday is the last day of the weekend and a signal that Monday is on the horizon, I welcome it. My son is fascinated with a game called Call of Duty (a single player game with missions and campaigns). He says he really likes it because it is realistic and has new features. I have no idea what "new features" are. He plays this game, at our house, with his friend who plays IN the same game, from his house. Wow! Call of Duty makes me wonder about my own personal missions and campaigns and what I'm doing to reach my goals because they won't happen instantly. I have to prepare to meet my future self by making decisions that will lead me there today. Bottom line is I have to be willing to experience a behavior change (difficult or not) to achieve my mission. So . . . you ask what am I doing about my Call of Duty? I'm making changes. What are you doing? |
