BALANCE

Craig Harrison's Coffee with Jesus reflections provide a healthy cup of daily inspiration to start your day. Cover art by

As I rush to have a cup of coffee with Jesus, I am thinking about rituals.  I’m usually awake by 3:30 AM, showered, get my coffee, do my meditations, and then write my reflection.  Today I didn’t wake up till six, got on a zoom Bible study at 6:30, and started working out in the gym at 7:30.  I got a call from someone asking me if I was OK and I realized I had forgotten to do my post!

It wasn’t exactly that I forgot, it’s just that I threw myself off by not waking up early. So I’m taking a little break to write my reflection.  Every day does not always go as you plan.  When you get thrown off your routine, it is OK.  I’m going to go back to my workout and when I’m done, I will read my reflections and get myself ready for the day!  I like routine.  I don’t like to be late, but I also know that life does not always happen the way we plan.

So, today I am going to be OK that I am out of sync.  I’m not going to let it ruin my whole day; I am going to enjoy the fact that I can bring myself back to balance.

How awesome that you and your words of wisdom (or lack there of) inspired a phone call concerning your well being. It must have been of great reassurance that your thoughts are wanted and needed by your community. I’m grateful that you took a minute of rest for yourself today. You needed the balance. Take care and be well
