ALWAYS IN A HURRY

Have you ever felt like you can’t keep up with all the things you need to do? I don’t know about you, but that seems to be the story of my life. In my younger days I worked in the shop, worked on a farm, and fixed cars. There was always a car to fix, grass to mow, projects to do and people to help. There is a song by a country group called Alabama that fits most of my life called, “I’m In a Hurry to Get Things Done”. It goes I’m in a hurry to get things done, I rush and rush till life’s no fun, all I really gotta do is live and die, but I’m in a hurry and don’t know why. However, these days I find time and peace in this busy world, it is going to Mass, adoration and benediction, or just spending quiet time with the Lord by myself in the church. When I am there, I forget about all the other things for a while and my wife tells me I look relaxed and peaceful at Mass. Jesus revives me in the silence, even though it takes ten minutes for me to clear the cluttered mind, to spend quality time with the Lord. Are you in a hurry? Where do you find peace in this busy world?
