Party?

Ever have a party that took a lot of planning, preparations and set up? Today I celebrated my daughter's 9th birthday? For the past few months a plan for this party has been coordinated by the master planner. Taking the time to think about the details, the in's and out's of what the day will look like and be like. Taking into consideration what likes would need to happen in order to be a definate success. Who should come? What should happen? What type of food? What theme? Give out the gift wish list. Planning a party will not be life or death. What planning a party does is illustrate the importance in life of proper goal setting. Detailed thought out plans and dreams will give insight to a path that is required for accomplishments. Looking at all aspects of possibilities that could be the outcome or a minor change to redirect the results is all part of planning. What planning have you been completing lately? Have you been planning other people's goals for them? Have you been puting your goals on the back burner to assist someone else to achieve theirs? That is all part of planning. If you plan to do that then that was your goal too. Put as much effort in that goal as if it were your own. Remember God's word says that we should not store up up treasures here on earth. Investing in other people is a worth while investment and is very valuable. When you help someone else achieve their goal, you will feel accomplished as well. Do not always place your goals last because God wants your calling to shine also. Sometimes helping someone achieve their goal will give you experience in finishing your plan. Always look at the bigger picture so the puzzle can be completed properly and the pieces are all in the right place. What party are you planning?
