Slowing Down

In the words of good ol' Pastor T "God us all kinds of things to get us to slow down."

This got me thinking.

As for Pastor T, God might be using the aging process to slow him down

But for me...??

At the moment, I am thinking God might be using my computer to slow me down.

I am so thankful to have a working computer! However, my computer is old and slower than turtles stampeding through peanut butter in January. Although the slowness of my computer often frustrates me, I sometimes think it is God's way of telling me I do not need to be on the computer right now, and that I should be making better use of my time. Which makes sense since computers seem to be about fast speed connection, right-here-right-now, and all that jazz. When I really just need to slow down; take some time to "smell the roses."

So I encourage you to take some time today (even if only five or ten minutes) to just "smell the roses" and have some you time. Whether that is sipping some hot coffee or hot chocolate, doing a few yoga stretches, reading a good book, whatever it is that slows and calms you.

And on the seventh day God rested. Find some peace and serenity in your day today. It's good for the soul.
