Not a day goes by without someone coming to our home, a meeting on the calendar, an event on the horizon at our venue, or a task that can’t be left undone. Our days have tumbled into weeks, our weeks into months, and our months into an endless expanse of moving from one thing to the next. Jerry and I are spent. Almost to the point of exhaustion. And yet, we can’t seem to stop or find the words to say no. The truth is, our hearts don’t want to. We love doing what we do. In this season of our lives, it is a sheer blessing and privilege to be available for others. It’s a calling we wouldn’t miss for anything.
Still, these words, something’s got to give, have begun to echo in my head. That we have to do this better is beginning to constantly resonate in my heart.
