A Joyful Heart is Good Medicine

Just recently, my Bible reading brought me to a verse I’ve read many times throughout the years. Don’t ask me why, but as I read it, a funny thought popped into my mind, so I got up and went to my calculator to validate my thinking. Yes, you heard me right — my calculator!

The verse was 2 Peter 3:8. “With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.”

Sitting at my desk, I began to compute. Here’s the simple math:

– if one day or 24 hours equal 1000 years…
– then each hour equals about 42 years…
– which means each minute equals about 8 months!

Ha! So the next time I ask the Lord to deliver me from a hard or challenging situation and he replies, “Just hang on for another minute…” I think I will hunker down and keep on praying!

I have always teased the Lord and constantly reminded him that he must move more quickly in my life. After all, I prompt him that he is quite old and has all of eternity while I do not!

Joy to you in this coming new year!

Sue’s Story

I've been a professional organizer most of my adult life. Who I am and why I love my work comes from how I was raised and the mysteries of DNA!

From the most humble of beginnings in Kentucky to helping businesses and organizations across the U.S., I always try my best to share both practical and inspirational principles and techniques.

I hope you enjoy your visit here and come back often. And feel free to call or email anytime.

Even though you might reach me on my porch looking out at the Colorado Rockies, a born and bred Kentucky girl enjoys a good chat.
