Distracted

I'm sitting here with my coffee. I cannot focus, Lord. I did not seek You first. Even though You are patiently waiting for us to meet. The children are sick and I am distracted by the fence that needs building and painting. The designs I have in mind for my house instead of Yours. "Is it right for you to live in paneled houses while Mine remains in ruins?"(Haggai 1:4). This is not the first time You have remind me of this scripture. Certainly it will not be the last.

And I know it is not because you are not happy for me to build and garden and do all of these wonderful things (although we both know they will all burn). "But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you."(Matt.6:33)

Please help me focus first on what's eternal. Help me listen when I am headstrong and selfish (man! that seriously is like all of the time). I am not going to lie. I do not feel like going to church today but instead want to stay here and get things done.
