I was talking to someone the otherday who described their life like this:
Round and round it goes. Whirling, twirling. Faster and faster. We throw our kids on our family's merry go round and off we go. Spinning, spinning, busy so busy. Even if it ever stops, I think my head will still spin.
Sometimes the merry go round isn't so much fun. Are you too busy? Going round and round? How about a pause. How about a stop. How about a re-evaluation of our families priorities. What are they learning from this merry go round that will help them in 30 years?
Are we missing the chance to give them the things that are really important because we are spending all this time on the merry go round?
Push me will you?
No, I won't. Get off, take a break, let your soul get reconnected to your life purpose.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

Not only are we on a merry-go-round, but we are on merry-go-rounds on merry-go-rounds. At times I think we feel compelled to stay on and can't get off. I know I should get off but do I have the courage to want to get off. Once off we can't imagine why we didn't do it long ago. The spirit is nutured, priorities change, relationships change and we might just find out who we are and whose we are. It is scary to get off.
