A Life of Ease


These have been trying days lately. I prayed last year, "Lord, let me not seek a life of ease". Well, he has answered that prayer 100 fold. Little did I know what that prayer would entail. It seems Theodore Roosevelt had this same thought many years ago. He wrote an eloquent speech about this very subject. If you do a google search on "life of ease" you can read his very words on this subject.
We don't have to go far to find articles on "the simple life" or managing our time. I'm not advocating a work till you drop type of life--just one of balance. Let's not be afraid of hard work. To everything there is a season; a time to work and a time to rest.
