Bible Verse of The Day – 1-27-22

Mark 6:32 (NKJV) 32 So they departed to a deserted place in the boat by themselves.

Rest and quiet time are needed more than we realize.

The past few months for us have been crazy. We have been out straight physically and mentally.

During all of this, we have tried to reply to those that have written to check on us. But we might have missed someone along the way.

If we did, please accept our sincerest apologies. And thank you for checking in on us. We sincerely appreciate it.

We are beginning to see some light at the end of the tunnel, and we are finally getting some good rest.

Knowing that it’s OK to rest has helped us to not feel guilty if we have needed to take a break.

You all have been so good to us, with your encouraging words, prayers and financial support. We are truly grateful for how God has provided for us through it all.

We want to say thank you, and also remind you to rest and break free at times as well.

Make this year the beginning of taking a rest from time to time, instead of pushing ourselves to the point of breaking. We need to remind ourselves to take a break to heal and rest from our hard work.

Break, depart, and get to a deserted place. It’s OK. It’s necessary!

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-13-18

Genesis 2:2 (NKJV) 2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.

Resting is hard for some people, but it is a necessity.

Different personalities may find it hard to take a break and not work. For example, people that are goal-driven usually find it hard.

People that may be greedy usually don’t like to rest because they are afraid they might lose out on something if they rest.

People that are very active and like to be moving all the time don’t like the thought of sitting still.

But rest is required if we want to be productive and stay balanced in our lives.

Having a rested mind and body will help us to get much more done than if we are tired and stressed.

I’ll admit that when I’m tired I make mistakes. I cannot be running on empty and produce good quality anything. Balanced REST will produce the best! Amen.

A simple little reminder today; be sure to get some rest.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-16-18

Genesis 2:2 (NKJV) 2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.

If God Himself took a rest, then so must we also rest.

Some of us never stop. We don’t know how to. We keep going and going. Even on our days off we are trying to be productive, making sure we get things done.

Work without rest is not good. Even though our minds may feel better about what we have accomplished, our physical bodies need rest.

Sometimes we forget we are only human and not some kind of super hero. We need to take some time to smell the flowers, breathe the fresh air, look up at the sky, sit outside and listen to the birds, the ocean waves or just do something like walking, hiking, bike riding or fishing!

Take a break. Go and do something where we don’t have to think.

Life and its demands can sometimes get very overwhelming. It’s OK for us to put on the brakes and say, “I need to have a few minutes, a few hours or maybe a few days to just sit. No schedule, no work, and no phone”.

Do we do this? Or do we push through, exhaust ourselves even further, ending up sick, cranky and burned out?

Rest is important. Our health is important to God. Go and get some rest! Amen.
