Brenda,
Oh how the enemy wants to sucker us into being busy. So true that busyness leads to a barren existence. Community with God and others leads to life.
Blessings,,

Satan gets me every time with the busyness of life. I fall prey to his lies. Trying to fight back. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
