It’s that time of the year again: to reflect on time-management, weight-management, priorities, etc. We have a couple of days to get our ducks in a row, so when January 1st, 2013 is upon us, we can “take off!.
Gordon and I have very many face book and email contacts and we are wondering how we could maintain relationships with those far from where we live in Edinburgh, Scotland, without overburdening ourselves or them.
Here are ( 5 ) goals to get our re-thinking going:
- Real and meaningful communication and relationship over distances.
- Wise length and varied content so as not to burden or family/friends nor over-burden ourselves.
- To avoid “us, us,us” communications, rather send “testimonies”.
- On the email front, to avoid general letters, except our “diary-blog”-posts.
- Frequency of emails to family, to close friends, to general contacts?
Some of my attitudes, ways and opinions definitely need re-defining. Am I open to wisdom, wisdom discovered in God’s presence, Bible and in people and media? So many more insights and perspectives than my own!
