What's Really Important

Why is it only when there's a crisis I focus on the truly important things? Why is it so easy on a regular basis to lose sight of all that matters most and get caught up in things that ultimately don't matter at all? Is it a good sign that at least we do think of what's important sometimes? It's definitely a bad sign that I can feel the unimportant creeping in even in a crisis... I want to try to be concerned with the important on a daily, moment-to-moment basis...there are (thank the Lord!) a whole lot more of the "mundane" moments than crisis moments...I don't want to waste it all on the meaningless.
