"Slow Down And Live"

Last night i stumbled face first into my debate about parts of the Sunday Service yesterday.Felt beat up and lousy afterwards.Sleep much?No!Thanxs 4 asking.Woke up today,grabbed the"Our Daily Bread" booklet,found the new day on the NEW YEAR.It had a familiar title........"Slow Down And Live"

"Many of our New Year's resolutions may actually accelerate our pace of life instead of helping us to slow down.In a quest for greater productivity and efficiency,we overschedule our days,then rush through meals,drive impatiently,and wonder why the joy of living eludes us.
Carol Odell,who writes a business advice column,says that slowing down can positively affect our lives at work and at home.She believes that rushing can cloud our judgement and cause us to overlook important things and valuable people.Carol encourages everyone to slow down,and even suggests the radical idea of welcoming red traffic lights and using the waiting time to meditate.
In Psalm 1,there is no hint of a frenzied pace.It descibes a person who enjoys the blessing of God.Instead of thinking and acting like those who rarely consider spiritual matters,"His delight is in the law of the LORD,and in His law he meditates day and night"(v.2).The result is a fruitful life and a well-nourished soul(v.3).
Isaiah wrote,"You will keep him in perfect peace,whose mind is stayed on You,because he trusts in You"(Isa.26:3).Just for today,try thinking about that verse whenever you have to wait.Isn't it time for all of us to slow down and live?"

My 2 tiping fingers r sore now,done deal.And thanxs GOD,i don't feel beat up anymore after reading and typing this.the bruises r there but they will go away.AMEN!
