This isn't JImmy Stewart's dog. But I'll use any excuse to publish a grandchild picture.
And there is the dog. Wagging his tail right behind the chair. I don’t suppose I would ever have seen that dog without the benefit of high definition. I know the dog doesn’t really add anything to the movie in the big scheme of things. But, it did make me wonder.
How many things am I missing because my life is too blurry? And, how do I bring my life into higher definition this year?
I know that the general answer has to to with Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit in my life. But I’m asking God for some detailed specs, as well.
Any suggestions?
I swear the dog’s been added in. It was barking too! And I definitely don’t remember any barking. (I guess I just didn’t notice since I couldn’t actually SEE A DOG). And I don’t know if I have any suggestions you don’t already do. I think writing is a great way to slow down and see the details. I like to put stuff in my planner too. I was just looking back at “lunch with Christie” and things like that and feeling glad I wrote it down. I’m going to try and print more pictures this year too.
The planner and pictures are a good idea. I’m actually working on calendars at the office today, and it feels nice. (as if I really have some control) Ha!
Don & I read an idea, on CJ Mahaney’s blog, about taking several short “personal retreats” each year. So we’re taking one the next couple of days before the new year comes bursting in upon us. Hopefully, it will re-focus us and help us see things in HD as well. We’ll let you know how it goes!
That is brilliant, Cheri!
