Minute Vacations
It is good to take time to 'stop and smell the roses'. It is good to
take vacations, where you can chill, and relax, and begin to notice
God's handiwork all around you. It is refreshing; you can breathe it
into your soul.
But sometimes we can't take vacation. We can't get away from our
routine. Sometimes when our feet hit the floor in the morning, that's
it! The only spare time you might have would be maybe the shower or in
the car! So you have to take minute vacations.
Minute vacations. Take a look out your window at the beautiful sky.
Glance at the flowers growing wild by the roadside. Look up to the
cloud patterns. See the brilliant shine on a tree with fresh
raindrops, the vivid variety of color in fruits and vegetables-
ordinary, every-day things. Take a deep breath, and realize, God is so
good, thank you Lord! Just begin to thank Him. It's amazing what can
happen simply by doing a seemingly insignificant thing like this.
It is good to take minute vacations, Especially when it is out of
doors. There is something healing about being outside, even for a
brief moment. And thank the Lord; it's habit-forming! An attitude of
gratitude will take you far, definitely promote change – a lightness
in your step and a smile in your heart.
Thank you Lord for helping us be aware of endless Minute Vacations
that you provide each day for us, amen.
