Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met. (Matt. 6:33 MSG)
I’ve learned many important lessons in the waiting rooms of my life. I guess it takes some forced quiet time to help me focus on what’s important in life.
What do I need to focus on in my life? If I knew I had only a short time to live, what would be my priorities then?
Deep thoughts. I know these are deep thoughts that no one really wants to consider. But sometimes, it’s important to have a reality check, so we can get our heads out of the clouds and focus on the right things.
Waiting room. A waiting room experience brings my priorities back into focus. What is most important to me? If I could only focus on five things in life, what would they be?
- My spiritual life?
- My family?
- My work?
- My health?
- My friends?
- My personal possessions?
- My next vacation?
- My Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest?
- My next blog post?
Reflection. What am I willing to sacrifice to assure my focus is on track?

What are your priorities in life? How have your priorities changed over the years?
My spiritual life, my family, and my friends–in that order. The rest could wait or dissappear if I felt nudged to eliminate them. Life is short and this world is rocking.
Hi, Karen! It really helps me to be reminded of the most important things in life. And you are right, “Life is short”! And the older I get, the more I realize how fragile life really is! Thanks so much for your comment! Blessings
Great food for thought, Karen! You have me thinking this morning and focusing on His kingdom living………
Great to hear from you, Dixie! Thanks for your encouraging words. Btw, I finally mailed your book; so, let me know if you didn’t get it.
