Question: Do you have a bucket list?
Answer: No. God has already given us a list of what He requires of His people before His return. If He was to return or take me Home at this very moment I would have no regrets. I would know I was living to my fullest for His Glory by His Grace.People have the 100 or 101 things they want to do before they die. I looked up a few online and here are some things I found:
- Write a script for a T.V. Show
- Go Camping
- Learn to Dance
- Swim with a Whale
- Visit another Country
I wonder what on that list will really matter when they stand before the KING of KINGS? Does this mean that I go aimlessly about my days and life. Absolutely not! I am a very organized person and love to set goals for myself. I do keep a journal where I write about my days, what I feel the Lord is leading me to do and what passages in Scripture are having meaning to me in my day and how. I have also kept a “done” list from time to time to see if I am staying on track for the home duties. I just write down all I do in a day and at the end of the day consider where I could have used my time more effectively. I also keep posty notes with a list of tasks that I need to get done today, this week, month, and so on. My daughter, Bekah teases me about all the notes I leave for myself. I run a very busy home and farm. I have found that to be effective I must have my notes to remind me of what all needed to be accomplished for the day. HOWEVER, I don’t live in bondage to these notes. I don’t wake up to accomplish my list or live to accomplish my list. I live to accomplish His! I am flexible for God to rearrange my day at any moment. I know that His thoughts and plans are much greater than I. If I live with Him as my priority then no bucket list is required.
With much love,

I didn't even know what a "bucket" list was until recently. I also do not have one. I strive to simply follow along wherever the Lord chooses to lead me and do my best along the way! As you stated, I hardly think that any worldly type goals are going to matter when I get home anyway!
