Metronome


Today my friend,
Vincente
brought me over my very own Metronome.
It helps a musician keep time with the music.
It is PERFECT!

I am attempting to learn a Beethoven piece (not optimistic) so we can play it together with his violin...

...I am thinking I need at least 2 years of practicing...

and even then, I am not so sure.

I have been thinking lately that I need help with keeping time with life.

I am attempting to learn to be more

Patient

Long-Suffering

Humble

Submissive

Full of Love

as I am bombarded with life's demands.

I need a metronome. A beat that keeps me steady. When I get off track, I will immediately know something is off, not quite right. I will do all in my power to get back on the beat.

But we do have Life Metronomes...many of them:

The Holy Ghost

Spouses

Our Children

Scriptures

we have to listen... we have to be willing...we have to work

...in keeping life's beat.

How funny that I read this blog today. I was just thinking about you yesterday and wondering what ever became of that piece you were talking about. How's it going?
