I can't be everything to everyone!

I am the type of person that tries to please everyone. Unfortunately, I will let somebody down if I do this too much. I can not stand to be late. I would rather be an hour early than one minute late. Today I was in two places at one time. I needed to be in three places at one time. Drew and Luke both had basketball games at nine-o'clock at different gyms. I watched Luke's first half while Paige watched Drew's first half. At halftime we switched. Luke's team won, but Drew's team lost. I had agreed to meet a customer at work by nine too. They came from forty-five minutes away. They actually showed up early, and waited.....for an hour. They left very angry. Once I got to work the customer called. They let me know how much they were disappointed. I thought I was being a good Dad, going and watching my boys play ball. I was hoping my customer would be delayed by the rain. So instead of being responsible, and not trying to be in three places or even calling the customer, I let someone down. It didn't really hurt me too bad because the customer is so mad at me they will not be back. It cost me money for losing a sale. I didn't hurt or disappoint my family, or did I? How many times a day do I let down God? Even when I have good intentions.
