Staying on Target

Over St. Patrick's day weekend we went to visit some friends of ours in Greeley, CO. While we were there I got to go out to ghe range, and shoot. When I'm out shooting I have to practice all the fundamentals of marksmanship to accurately hit the target, or I consider the trip to be wasted. However, there are times when I miss. Even if I miss I am usually pretty close to the mark. If my target is too distant the my bullet will fall short. If I don't have a target then what?



Even in the simplest of activities we can find lesson to apply to our own lives. What are the targets in your life? Are they in range? Are you taking care of the fundamentals to hit your targets. Are your targets meaningful? Take some time to reflect on what the things you need to do in your life, and the things you want to do. Some targets may be out of range at the moment, and some might not be as important. Make sure you are not missing the important things in life (God, Family, Friends). Those things that seem out of range at now may come into range when the time is right, or it may be that they really aren't all that important in your own life. Simply put we have to trust God's plan for us.
