Just a thought.....

I haven't posted much lately, so I thought I would. I wanted to share my morning devotion from today. It was titled The Pursuit of Jesus and referenced the scripture Psalm 41:1. "Blessed is he who has regard for the weak; the Lord delivers him in times of trouble." This really hit home for me. It talked about how we should remember how Jesus was constantly pursued by so many people. He always helped those people and never complained. I can't remember one time in the Bible where He said get away from me or please quit calling my name. I thought about how many times a day someone "needs" me and how I respond. Some days I think if one more kid says Mrs. Tuggle or if someone else needs a favor or even if my sweet babies say mommy one more time I might go insane. I'm sure we have all been there. Don't get me wrong, I love to help people, I especially love my babies and I love the fact that I am "needed" in so many ways, but it gets overwhelming sometimes. The last part of that verse rings so true for me. The Lord has definitely delivered me in times of trouble........sooooo many times. I know that most of us are so busy and play so many roles in life and are so often needed and pursued by others. What if Jesus told us to leave him alone or that He didn't have time right now or that He needed time for HImself? That is what I thought about this morning as I read that verse because I had said all those things at some point yesterday. I am going to keep that in mind today as I hear Mrs. Tuggle I need this or Mrs. Tuggle can you help me... and especially when I hear Mommy........ I know that all too soon my babies may not need me as much. Just a thought.......
