Last night I was reminded of how important it is for all of us to just take a moment. I was driving home and when I got into the driveway I just shut off the car and sat there. I needed a moment, not some preplanned quiet time or some scheduled church event. I just wanted a moment to unwind, get myself together, and have some peace and quiet, which while I sat there I realized is something I have not heard in a while...complete silence. Oh it was wonderful! (Right until my cat decided to jump on top of my car and scare the living daylights out of me. Anyone interested in a cat? Just kidding I love that ball of fur, most of the time.)
Today I would like to encourage you all to just take a moment and slow down. Sit in your car a little longer before going inside. Take a break at work and go off by yourself. Have one moment today that is completely God's and yours. Shut off the t.v., the cellphone, and just breath. Whatever happens in that moment is between God and you. You don't have to do anything in that moment that you don't want to do. You don't have to do anything at all, just breath.
Take a break and slow down, even if it's just for a moment. Cherish that moment and thank God for that moment.
