Slow me down, Lord, amid the confusion of my day.
Ease the rushing of my steps by the hushing of my heart.
Draw me in as I cast anchor to repair and restore.
Help me to remember that happiness is not a pursuit
toward an end, a place to finally arrive.
It comes as I spend a few moments a day
reflecting on the things that make my soul thrive.
- Jan Coleman
These wise words are from a little book called Soul Retreats for Women that was a gift from my friend Joyce. Sitting down with a cup of tea and a book is a nice way to slow down, revive and refresh your day.
We have some lovely flowers for you over at the Prodigal site--please pop in and pick them up!
ReplyDeleteVery good words to remember. Sometimes we just need to sit down with a book and cup of tea to slow down.
ReplyDeleteDarling, I just stopped by to let you know that I have returned and that I had a great time. I missed you too much to stay away longer!! Have a beautiful Monday.
