I have been continuing to read my latest book, One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp and making my own list of things I am thankful for. One portion that I enjoyed in chapter five was about feeling like you always need and want more time to get everything done. I appreciated her thoughts and meditations on this idea. She explains that when you devote your time to God and ask Him to do with it whatever He wants, it's amazing how you'll find time for what is important, and what little things you can find in that time that are so enjoyable, little gifts.
I found this on Pinterest, and found it to be so true...
