Rest

There are vacations for sight seeing, vacations for bonding with friends and/or family and vacations for sitting in the sun, feet up, phone off, favorite beverage and reading materials close by. The trick is knowing what is needed when and doing just that.

“It’s not selfish, it’s self-care.” ~ Renita Alexander

Just Like New…

Our cells are always renewing. If they suddenly stopped replicating, we might last a few days, but eventually we would die. In the same way, if we stop growing spiritually, mentally, and emotionally, we might as well BE dead.

As we get older our cells start to replicate more slowly and we start to age. However we can still maintain our physical health by engaging our muscles and being careful about what we ingest. And we can continue to develop our spiritual muscles through prayer, meditation and study, exercise our emotional muscles by being present in our relationships and flex our mental muscles through exposure to new information.

Happy New Year!

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”  Romans 12: 2 ESV

Inhale Renew, Exhale Decline…
Inhale Replicate, Exhale Deteriorate…
Inhale Repair, Exhale Death…

Oxygen Mask

The safety briefing prior to a flight always includes the reminder to put YOUR mask on before helping others in an emergency. And while we wouldn’t question the wisdom of that directive, in our lives we are constantly flying from one family crisis to another, flailing and sometime failing because we are operating without oxygen.

We are trying to help others when we can’t breathe…

Who will give me wings,” I ask—“wings like a dove?” Get me out of here on dove wings; I want some peace and quiet.” Psalm 55: 6-7, MSG
