What could you do more of?

When I think about my life, I see a lot of holes where I wasted time rather than spent it wisely. What could I do more of?

I could spend more time in Bible study and prayer. Sometimes, it feels like I don’t spend enough time with the one person I love above everyone else, my Savior, Jesus. Then my mind goes to other areas of my life. As a Christian, the one thing they tell you is to pray often. I could definitely pray more. But what about the other areas of my life, my children, my friends? I could definitely spend more time with them, even if it’s only a text. What about me, my alone time? Now, if you know me, I live alone, so how could I have more alone time? I could step away from the computer, turn off the television, and head outside into nature. Oh wait, I’m still recovering from a bad fall. Getting out into nature isn’t going well right now. However, the body is healing and I am doing more, so I will get out in nature again, hopefully soon. So, what are the other holes in my life that I could do more of?

I could be a better friend. I feel like I’m lacking in that area lately. I have one really good friend here, my next door neighbor. She’s wonderful and needs me, and I’m more than willing to help her. She has trouble with everything electronic and with the world we live in, it’s a real handicap when you can’t navigate your way through the world of technology. I have another friend who doesn’t live here. I don’t see or talk to her as much as I used to. I could reach out to her more.

I have holes in every area of my life to fill with things I could do more of, but here I sit while another hole gets bigger.
