"Be still, and know that I am God" Psalms 46:10
merry-go-round of life. Everyone needs an intermission every once in a while and mine was today. I woke up with no alarm going off, meandered to the coffee pot, watched some mindless entertainment on Animal Planet, then worked in the yard. Working in the yard may not sound like a sabbatical from life, but for me it was something that slowed me down enough to take notice of the things that really matter. We sorted through rocks for hours, laying plastic underneath so that the weeds would not come poking throught the rocks. But while doing that seemingly mindless activity my whole world seemed to make sense again. God has a way of showing us what is really important if we just "Be still." The beauty of a bunch of river rocks, crawling insects, and sunshine slowed time down and allowed me to be still in the chaos of this world.
Thank you God for the little things.
