HOLINESS

Craig Harrison - Coffee With Jesus

As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was thinking about a book I read years ago, entitled “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff.”  I know this is true, but it is harder to practice living it.  It makes me wonder why I make such a long To Do List every day, and why I have trouble sitting still and reflecting, and how I get annoyed when something I plan doesn’t go just the way I wanted.

When we choose to follow Jesus, we can’t “sweat the small stuff.” Jesus is always bringing us sacred interruptions to see if we can find the HOLINESS in the moment.  We can learn that we do not have to control the moment, but that we can actually be present in it.

Whether it be a house that needs to be cleaned, or a flat tire, or endless lists, our attitude makes all the difference.  Are we serving our To Do List or Our Lord’s?  Can we see the lessons in the sacred interruptions?  Are we holding onto the past or embracing the present?  When we strive to put Jesus in the center of our lives, it is all small stuff!  

Today, I will strive to see Jesus in all the simple tasks, the small things, and make them prayers of GRATITUDE.  

I think I will put that on my list!
