Slow

I recently reviewed my list of the things I’d like to get done in 2015. Given that we’re 4 months into this year, the results were not encouraging. There is only a little progress to be seen and I’m still trying to finish off jobs which have drifted on for a number of months.

My normal reaction would be to become very frustrated at my lack progress but instead I was reminded of two things:

• Be grateful for the progress – even if it’s small, it still takes me to nearer to the finishing line.
• Giving thanks is much better than expressing regret.

So today I’m choosing to celebrate what’s been done. As Paul puts it “Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thess 5:16-18 NASB
