Other People

I have a tendency to think I’m the only REALLY busy person in the world! My world, that is.

It also seems to me that most people feel that way about themselves too! They’re busy while the rest of us are idle! Or they’re more than busy — they’re occupied with important matters, while the rest of us just dribble our time away in play or on nothingness. Have you noticed this about other people?

I can’t begin to tell you the people who ask me, “Well, what do you do all day?”

I never seem to find the right words. I stammer a little. All I know is I’m hustling every minute, and I don’t get done. There is always more. And there is always more that could be done and done better — if one only had the time.

What does God mean that time is non-existent!!!! (Just kidding, God.) For, surely, there is not enough of it.

And have you, dear blog-readers, noticed that time keeps going faster and faster? I remember when a day lasted a long time, and now it’s like a minute. I look up in a daze at 9 p.m., for example, and think,”Augghh. Where has the day gone? the night too!”

I used to be snobbish about people who didn’t answer all their emails. I used to mutter, “It would only take them a minute. ” Now I understand. 120 emails times one minute is two hours!

I believe that Bernie Siegel does answer every email promptly. He has a knack. He can answer even a long involved email in three, four, or five words. I, on the other hand, seem to have to write a novel.

Well, I’d better stop writing this Heaven diary entry and start doing some real work because the truth is that writing here every morning is exactly play!

I retired from Gods beautiful ocean 15 years ago, That is where I learned to talk with God. Now in Retirement, I do not know How I ever had the time to go to sea. But enjoying it. If other people are as busy or not never enters my mind. I am to preoccupied with Gods beautiful fruit and finding buyers for it. Oh I sit down occasionally to read the news from Heaven on my computer. Then I make time to comment on comments. Now Back to work. Love you ALL and it feels good to love you all. Jack

Angel Gloria,
Writing Heaven’s Diary every morning is REAL work even when it feels like play! I’m sure I’ve heard God say, “there is always enough time” many times. I think Jack has the philosophy down - don’t let it enter your mind, whatever is going on with others and their busyness or what they might be thinking about others’ level of busyness. I remember God saying quite a lot about “being busy” in Heavenletters and how it is not the same thing at all as simply “being” and doing your True life’s work.
