Life has been busy lately. Too busy.  I’m finding that I need to learn, again, the principle of rest.  Even in the busy harvest season the Israelites were commanded to keep the Sabbath.  They needed it then more than ever.  I’m finding that I do too.

The other day I had a moment - just a moment - to breathe and look to the Source.  As I did, he immediately refreshed and restored my soul.  The relief was so profound that I quickly jotted down a few words in my journal.  They’re not polished, but I’m posting them anyway because I have a feeling there are a lot of weary souls out there:

Just a Moment

Just a moment

to breathe

Just a moment

to rest

Just a moment

to be still

and escape from the busyness of life

Just a moment

to listen

to smile

to gaze into Your eyes

Just a moment

to merge

heaven and earth blissfully collide

in the beauty of Your peace

Just a moment

to revive

You kiss me with grace

And lead my weary soul to rest

Just a moment

with You

May his sweet shalom rest on you today and always.
