PAY ATTENTION!

Recently I had a few guys approach me about starting a small group of men to discuss life issues, challenges, struggles and sharpen each other. The first few weeks I was pleased that we could talk through some major issues they were dealing with and I shared from my experiences and how my wife and I handled many of these things in our own marriage.  About six weeks later I had a conversation with my wife where she expressed that she had felt neglected, unseen, unloved and virtually ignored for about that length of time. I was stunned. I  had absolutely no idea she felt that way. As I looked back over the previous two months I realized that I had spent the majority of the time focused significantly on myself. I had several trips, went to multiple ball games, and was overall focused on my own enjoyment and pleasure. The word for today is “Pay Attention.”  Don’t allow yourself to simply coast through life doing what comes naturally. You can lose the things and the ones you love, you can damage people and you can hurt yourself if you’re not paying attention to your attitudes, actions and motivations.  It takes hard work to get back from these far off places. The work is worth it, but you’re better off avoiding them in the first place. Pay attention!

“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”
