| This week has been emotionally, physically draining. I went to hospital to sit with friend while her husband had major back surgery , then took my dad to two doctors appointments, lunches, store, after coming home doing my chores of laundry, cleaning stalls , riding three horses , keeping appointment of getting horses shod.
As I share my morning daily read of scripture I take a deep breath whew! what a week, planning on going to barrel race over weekend to get a break LOL. When I was in my 20s I didn't think about much about getting replenished now at 61 IT IS A MUST. Not only getting rest of my body but of my soul.
it's important , in the midst of days and weeks like these, to find a way to replenish our reserves. Use whatever analogy works for you: put on your own oxygen mask, prime the pump, fill your cup, whatever.
Jesus calls us not only to serve but to rest. We MUST stop and let God fill us with His love and power, so that we can pour it into our family , and friends, our work, our ministry. Jesus invites us to come away, even while there are many items on our to do list. He invites us to come to a quiet place and rest. What would you like in your life? you may think you can't afford to take some time for quiet reflection and prayer before staring a busy day , or spends bit of time with a friend to sit at hospital or coffee, conversation , or to take a nap. But maybe you CAN'T afford NOT to!
I HAVE to start my day in the word of God, so I KNOW how it is going to turn out in REST with Jesus, peace,taking a deep breath letting to out releases anxiety for me. imagine Jesus is saying to me, Lets go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.
How will you respond? Will to replenish yourself right now. Close your eyes take a deep breath, see Jesus by your side, let out breath slow, feel peace
Mark 6:30 then Jesus said, Lets go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile. He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn't even have the time to eat.
REST, REPLENISH mind body and soul today HAVE a BLESSED Friday and weekend
For it is with God ALL things are possible
Father, guide me today to rest in You, help me to always replenish in Your Word, and to bring glory and honor to You AMEN |
