Rest

I find myself sitting at the table in my office eating lunch and looking our the window, it's just peaceful. There is a little bit of snow falling. If I look closely I can see it.

 

This past week Wednesday night at bible study at Lake Harbor our study was on rest. And just how important it is. At Hackley we can log points for taking part in healthy activities: spiritual, emotional, and physical. One of the items on the list is taking 30 minutes for just yourself. Examples being: reading, taking a bath, going to a walk, just resting in the silence, doing devotions ect. And I have started to do this, and it makes a big difference in everyday things. My attitude and my mind set are much more positive when I take this time. Just time to clear my mind and rest.

I found myself this weekend with time to rest. And it was amazing. Michael and I were dog/cat sitting for friends of ours and Saturday Michael went to Kalamazoo with his parents to see his brother and I stayed back with the animals. I had nothing of urgency to complete. So Jada and I watched Harry Potter and Sisterhood of the traveling pants. I did get some work done but with a completely rested and positive attitude.

Here is Jada, wanting ALL of my attention :) She kept nudging my paperwork off of my lap.

Take some time to rest in God, and let him recharge you!

Matthew 11: 28-30
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”


Much love! <3 span="">
