Take the time to make the time…to be still AR

Monday’s Message
How often do we sacrifice our time?
For our job, for our family, for ourselves?
We do what we feel needs to be done
With each passing of the sun

We have our planners
Our checklists
The never ending "to-do's"
But rarely do we stop to take the time to be still and embrace the view

Be grateful for our surroundings
The roof above our head
The shoes beneath our feet
The ability to control the cold and the heat

and we have this control that we are seemingly unaware of
Always feeling the pressure to move and to go
Until we finally hit our head on our satin pillow
Even then our minds do not stop
Always going, not knowing how to turn off

And He is right beside you sitting there at watch

Watching you breathe
Watching you wake every day and attempt a full night's sleep
He is reaching out to you, hoping you will see
Darling, this thing we call time does not cease

But you can press pause
and or wait for the applause
For marking every check in the box
Yet your mind will still be lost
and you will continue on

How we constantly wish we had more time in the day
To accomplish all the things we say
But the one thing we must put at the top of our "to-do" list
Is to find time for our quiet place

It may seem nearly impossible
Highly improbable
With all our tasks, checks, and must "get to next"
But you sacrifice your time for what you feel must get done
So why don't you take the time for some One on one?

He does not ask for much.

Wherever you are
Parked in your car
On the beach or alone at night in the dark
Take a few deep breaths, and let your mind rest

Rest in the fact that no matter how fast time is going
He is all knowing
He knows your stresses, your ugly messes
and He still waits for you to meet Him in his presence

So take the time to make some time
To let Him know how grateful you are
No matter your circumstances
You long to be in His presence

You, my darling, are forever a child of God
No matter the distance you feel apart
Each hour, each minute, each second is a new, fresh start
