Big Rocks First

Posted by admin on December 15, 2009

You may have seen the demonstration where a container is half full of sand and you are asked to put some large rocks into the container.  With the sand on the bottom you can only fit a few of the larger rocks in.  The Big rocks are labeled: prayer, service, read scriptures, attend church, etc. Then you remove the sand and place all of the big rocks in the container.  They all fit and then you poor in the sand.  it all fits.  I even like to pour in a gallon of water and it all fits.  The message is if you put the big rocks first then all the other things will fit better into your life.

There are many sand of distraction that can consume all of our time if we allow them to.  Remember we need to schedule our priorities- not prioritze our schedule.
