On Calendars…

I have one of those big calendars on my desk at work. It is actually a very useful tool. I use it to keep up with events throughout the month. It also makes a great notepad. As I was changing the calendar Friday I was struck by the difference between the new sheet and the old one. The old one had seen better days. It was full of battle scars, smudges, marks and other reminder that things happen to get us off track. It started out fresh just like the new sheet but somehow along the way things happened at it had become cluttered.  The makers of the calendar never intended for it to become an improvised coaster, make shift placemat or notepad yet that is what happened to the calendar. Yes, it was still usable for its intended purpose but maybe not as well.  Life is like that as well. God created me for a purpose: To bring glory and honor to Him. Along the way life happens and I get distracted by all the extra stuff . Just like the old months calendar I bear the smudges and marks of a busy life. The marks and smudges may not be anything bad but rather the stresses, busyness that come from having a job, family and commitments at church. It seems like sometimes I get so busy trying to serve God that I can get sidetracked and forget my purpose.
