Time out...


Last weekend, our family traveled to Tennessee and North Carolina.  One of my favorite places there is the balcony view from our hotel room.  I could stay there for hours.  In the middle of all the people, attractions, noise and traffic, there's a hidden place I can go for peace...rest...reflection...and strength.  Day and night, I found myself longing to return to that balcony.

I began thinking.  There's a place inside my heart that continually longs for peace, rest, reflection and strength.  In the middle of life's busy pace, challenges, responsibilities and roles, I yearn for time with the One Who restores my soul, renews my mind and refreshes my spirit.  I thirst for Him.  He listens, loves and leads me.  I am so grateful for His everlasting love, hope and peace.♥~thl

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship.  Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--His good, pleasing and perfect will."  Romans 12:  1>2
