Rest

❀ ❋ ❁ Delightful ✾ ❁ ❃



     Do you ever wonder if God uses such hot days as today to make us rest a little more and give us more time with Him?  I will gladly take a hot day over a sick day to do just that.  As this caption points out, 'just take a minute' to slow down and count all your blessings.
    How often do we miss what is right in front of us because we are in too big of a rush?  The beauty of the Lord surrounds us everyday and even shouts 'look at me' by all of God's creations. I  hadn't spoken directly to my lil 4yr old friend who was over the other day and she said 'Angie, didn't you see me?'  I think God probably has the same question of us when we don't acknowledge Him in our daily lives.
    May we seek Him, acknowledge Him and glorify Him as we rest in His gracious goodness everyday.

  1. I was immediately reminded of the verse in Psalm 34 that says, "O taste and see that the Lord is good..." Sometimes, especially early in the morning, or at sunset, can't you almost "taste" the goodness of the Lord?

  2. I agree totally. How much do we miss in our rush. Guilty of taking things for granted too often.

  3. That is so True. People just let life rush them along and most don't even notice anything around them. I have learned as life goes by, to stop and enjoy God's presence more and more. I may be considered lazy for resting so much, but I think my Father in heaven enjoys my company!
