Does this feel familiar?
“I’m doing all the right things. I love my work and my family―why am I so crabby? I would cherish regular meditation and prayer―but there’s not the tiniest slot of time for it. Besides, the moment I sit down, even for TV, I fall asleep. Worse, if I find a quiet minute, my mind is still making schedules, planning transportation logistics, trying to solve some work problem. Even things I love to do have become chores and I rarely get to them anyway.”
But I needn’t detail the challenges. You experience them every day. You are too busy―in your heart you know it. Self-help writers tell you to change your whole life, to get a different job, or something else too huge to consider.
This pamphlet won’t advise you to do anything large. Not even ten minutes’ worth. Instead it offers you practical ideas for finding time where there is no time. These suggestions will stimulate your own imagination, too.
You can use mere moments to enrich your soul, to allow your heart and mind to rest a little. It just takes a little attention.
Before we begin, you may check―and perhaps change―something over which you have complete power: your own attitude toward what you are about to start. If you make this into another work project, it won’t last long. You have no energy for that. You can, however, choose to make it fun, an experiment, a “what if I...?” Make it playful! Then it will be energizing. Besides, a playful attitude brings us very close to God. Try it!
At the end of each section, you will find references to a verse or two of Scripture. These can expand the context and meaning of each section.
