Learning to Slow Down

During the days before thanksgiving, people seem to be "frantic!"  Then, within a few hours, the guests have come and gone and realize that you did not relax.  When is it then, that we are supposed to slow down and relax?  One thing I teach in physical education classes is how to stand completely still and rest in that position.  Slowing down and resting is an action you must learn to accomplish by controlling your body. 
The more practice you have, the better you will become at slowing down and resting.  One of the best reasons, especially for Christians, for learning to slow down is to be still and know that God is God.  Everything is going to continue and in the end, we will be judged by the words that come out of our mouth.(Matthew 12) 

Take a break!  Slow down and stop your activities during the day for a few minutes.  If you dont think you have enough time to stop for four minutes, try two!  Enjoy the two minutes of rest and give God the praise He alone deserves!

Praise God
