You know that moment when you sit down at a table and realize that it’s not level? You throw your elbows up on the table and your friend sitting on the opposite side gets coffee dumped in her lap? Or every time you place your hands on the table the sugar packets placed in the center of it go sliding into the floor? You inspect the issue and realize that either one leg is missing, isn’t quite flat on the ground for some reason, or the floor isn’t level? Whatever the cause, something is out of balance.

So, what do you do? You grab one of those sugar packets (or two or three) and slide it under the uneven leg. Taaa Daaa! All is well. Now you can eat with your friend without feeling like you are on the deck of the Titanic.

Do you think your life is ever like that uneven table? Like something is out of whack? Like it’s not in perfect balance?

Let’s assume the table (your life) has three legs: work, play, and rest. Is the work leg ever a little longer than the play and rest legs causing your life to be out of balance? Perhaps you need to even your life out a little with adding some sugar to the play and rest side of things?

Or let’s assume the table (your life) has four legs which represent the dimensions of holistic wellness: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Would you say your life is out of balance? Do you spend more time in the gym than you do in your Bible? Does your worry and anxiety have you leaning too far to one side? Where might you need to even things up a bit with some sugar packets?

Go ahead, sit at the table of your life and see where things need a little leveling!
