One of my sins in life is that I do have a lazy nature. I am sitting here with a laptop while my family is playing a very confusing game and I don't like learning games (out of laziness?) so I choose to do the easy thing. I should be wrapping gifts, working on Christmas cards or any number of things and I am lazy. I hate cleaning, doing chores, etc. Don't like new duties at work either. But often once I do these things I am happy and can get into it. I just love relaxing and reading and looking things up and thinking about goals and what my ambitions are. I do believe I am a hard worker and expend a lot of energy in my marriage and raising kids so I am not saying I am a true slacker or even slothful. But it is nice at times. A year ago I worked from home which meant no need to dress, shower or drive to work. Loved it with all my heart.
Spiritually I am much like I am in the other parts of my life. I recognize this and am not blind to it. One of my prayers is that I dig further into my spiritual life with God and in so doing become more like Him (His Son). I really pray to be transformed and for the Spirit to lead my lazy self into a more spiritually inclined lifestyle. And as the song says that is on right now, (O Holy Night) "For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!"
and therein lies the rub. That is what needs to happen. Falling on my knees. More and often.
