A Blessed Life
My post today will be a little more personal than most. I am reflecting on a wonderful evening where my wife and I hosted a few of our close friends to celebrate my recent 50th Birthday. I had not given this much thought, but a few events have occurred to give me even more reason to think about this.
While helping to clean up the house yesterday I came across an old photo album with pictures of our two boys when they were very young. It is amazing to see how time has passed so quickly, but even more rewarding to see how wonderfully they have grown into responsible young men.
At the party last evening we had people from several segments of my life. Some attending were family, such as my in-laws and one of my older brothers. Others were close friends from church here in Franklin. There were even former neighbors and co-workers that all took time to come and celebrate with us.
As I move into the second half century, I am resolute in my belief that I need to narrow my focus even more in what I do. For many years I have taken more of a “shotgun” approach to my work and I am now considering how effective I might be if I took a “rifle” approach. The tough part will be deciding what I will do and what I will not do.
I’ll ask for God’s help in making these decisions. He always does know best.
