Squirrel !!

I am so easily distracted. It’s a quality i loathe about myself. The problem is that whatever distracts me becomes the center of my focus. Yes, I can focus, but then when something distracts me my focus shifts and then I’m off on another trail!! Am I the only one who does this? I’m like a dog who sees a squirrel and has to chase it!! To arm myself against this I try to get into a routine. I get out of bed. Walk the dog and pray as we walk along. Go up and have coffee with the guys. Come home and do a devotion. Go work. And so on. But sometimes life throws you curveballs. My routine gets messed up. I leave something out like praying or Bible study. Then my focus gets shifted and the next thing you know some old sin I thought I had conquered comes sneaking in the back door!! Here’s what I’m so thankful for. Jesus came and he came intentionally to give his life and then take it up again to save those who are weak! Like me! Those who no matter how hard they try can’t keep themselves from making mistakes. It’s good to keep fighting and trying but there’s something you need to know. He loves you! Not just when things are going good and life’s a big old blessing! He loves you when your mired down with trouble! He’s the one there to pull you up!! Thank you Jesus for loving me when I clearly don’t deserve it!! Teach me to love like you do!!
Put on your Jesus glasses and stay focused on him today!!
