In the hammock beside the Little Red River in Pangburn, AR with my Brandi, now that's a relaxing moment. We all need moments just to enjoy a little time to kick back and not be bothered. We are often in a hurried rush during our day that a moment to sit down is just a time to crash. Real relaxation has a peaceful and calming effect. I think those moments are a good time to count blessings and thank God for His faithfulness. There is no tension reliever better than the time you spend turning your worries and struggles over to the Lord. A massage or soothing lotions may give you the physical stress relief you need but don't forget to work on the inner tension of the soul's struggles.
With the holidays just around the corner, remember to take time for yourself and don't let the tension build up and explode.
That was a good day, good comments about relaxing too. It may be time for my afternoon nap, just as soon as I finish my to do list for today. Dad
ReplyDeleteHopefully we will be able to relax a little in Florida. With two little girls with us, who knows? Shopping, beach, riding the golf cart...........

So looking forward to cooking/baking with my sweet daughter next week and then having all the fam-plus here for Thanksgiving! So thankful God still allows and enables me to serve my sweet family in this way. LOVE those tension relaxers. As I have gotten older, I have learned to enjoy more of the meaningful things in life and to not worry so much about the ones that cause me stress. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, sweet girl....love you, T.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember ever seeing this picture of you--good one. We never have enough time to truly relax. You are right, praying and being thankful are two keys to relaxing. Mom
