Have Peace and Rest in Your Focus! Part 1

            Last Saturday afternoon, I was unnecessarily anxious and felt to help with finances when my husband and I both know it is not my responsibility.  Here’s the mistake I made and what happened.  My husband and I have had a designated place where we dump items that are clutter, items we don’t want or need anymore, and eventually, we are going to have a garage sale.  About 4:00 that afternoon, I went to the location and gathered about twenty-three of those items and took them to a nicely lit part of our house and took pictures of them one by one.  I spent about two to three hours taking pictures, uploading the pictures on the internet at seven different locations, giving descriptions and prices.  It is unnecessary for me to be burdened with the load of financial responsibility for my family.  That afternoon, I did not focus on dinner, which is my responsibility. 

            So there’s a lesson for me here in this.  I should enjoy my job and responsibilities in the family.  I should focus on the responsibilities I have and truly make my effort excel in the area.  There’s nothing wrong for me to care about my husband’s responsibilities and hear him vent when there’s troubles and pray for him for success in his responsibilities and efforts.  How are you doing focusing on your area of responsibility in your family?  If you are having troubles resting in your jobs, I would encourage you to seek out how you can excel there and not be troubled with unnecessary anxiety!
