Rest

"By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work." Genesis 2:2

"The LORD replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." Exodus 33:14

Even God took a day of rest. We really all do need a break from time to time. We need to take a break from the everyday and just relax for a time. We can use that time of relaxation to re-focus, to re-energize and to re-connect with God and with our families.

That is what we are doing this week. We're heading out in just a short while for our own family break, our time of rest, and we're all really looking forward to it. It will be wonderful to be away from the distractions of life and really pay attention to each other, and to pay attention to God. Perhaps he's been saying a few things to us all this time and we've been too busy to notice it. Our week away will give us an opportunity to just listen and see what he has for us. It's going to be a wonderful week.

While I'm away, I did try to cobble together a few posts, but it just didn't happen. Instead, I'm going to direct you to the ladies over at Proverbs 31 Ministries. If you find yourself with a day this week where you could just use a bit of encouragement, head on over there- they always have wonderful words for us from the Bible. Have a fantastic week, and be blessed!
