There is too much haste in the home today. Hurry steals the heart away. Busyness is an action. Hurry is an attitude. Those who work hard and desire the best are going to be busy. But in our busyness we must not hurry past the Lord and those we love. Urgency is not living at a faster pace; it is living with properly placed priorities.   It is significant that twice in the New Testament the Holy Spirit reminds us to "redeem the time" (Ephesians 5:16; Colossians 4:5). In both instances the command is given in context of the family. The word "redeem" reminds us that someone owns our time. We have to buy it back. Who controls your schedule? What possesses your time? Our God is the God of eternity and the only One who never wastes time. Article talking about being too busy.

Christopher Columbus kept a daily journal of his explorations. I have found that writing in a journal every day forces me to think through what I am doing with my days. It is a constant reminder that not one of them should be wasted. Many days, the only entry Columbus made was the words: "We sailed on." Some days, that is all we are supposed to do. Keep plodding. Sail on. Make the most of this day and see how God puts ordinary days together in an extraordinary way. Men are remembered for their outstanding days, but they are made during their ordinary ones. Life is full of “ordinary” days, days where nothing historic happens.
