036:Taking Time To Rest

Today, I want to spend some time talking about rest and the importance of rest as you're grieving. I'm bringing this up because taking time to rest is not something that I do often enough. So as I am sharing with you today, I'm sharing with myself.  In our culture resting is often not encouraged, we believe that everything has to be done right now. We as Americans try to use every waking moment to accomplish something, whether it's working, running to this activity or that or even staying busy at church. It's so out of control at my house, that my daughter asked me, " mom, what do we have to do this weekend."  While I'm trying to teach my daughter to love the Lord, and to be busy in His kingdom, the one thing that I have failed to teach her is, how to rest, how to be still and sit quietly with your Bible and your thoughts. To listen to nature or nothing at all.  I hope that you'll take to heart the simple steps that I share on how to prioritize rest and make it as much of your routine as staying busy.   I would love to stay in touch!
