I don't do much... Just have a book to read, no appointments and time to rest!
After Mom took off, I went to the traditional market and found cucumbers, zucchinis and jello to make special drinks! I also stopped at the local library to pick up a book...
I was home by 10:30 and made the jello drink and put the zucchinis in the air fryer!
I try not to get on my gadgets, but I had to check my emails... AHHHH... something to edit!
I finished that... and by 12noon, I had lunch! And for the rest of the afternoon, I settled myself on the sofa and read and rested! Delightful!
I try to give myself this retreat ONCE A MONTH, but it doesn't always work out.
In the evening, because counseling canceled, I even had time for a run...
I felt so much more energized from taking the time to 'retreat'... The book that I'm reading is King's Cross by Timothy Keller. I am still not finished with it. I would highly recommend this book. The author takes you through the Gospel of Mark!
Daily Lovely Insight:
Count Zinzendorf wrote, "I have but one passion, and that is He and only He."
I read another thought provoking sentence: "Being born again takes a moment of faith, whereas living the Christian life, becoming more Christ like, is a life long process, filled with daily choices of obedience."
Psalm 18:1 says,
Singleness of focus... to love the LORD!
I needed to be reminded of that...
Seek Him First!
your retirement is NOT to rest, so take more rest !!!!!
