Rest and Relaxation

 


It's Saturday again! How can that be?!?! It really is amazing how quickly the weeks fly by. This is of course a good, and a bad, thing. We are doing a sermon series at church about how to use our time... investing it in things that are good for our soul and trying to knock out those ways that we can so easily waste our time. As I reflect on the idea that time is fleeting and we don't get back any of our yesterdays, I realize how grateful I am that my yesterdays are not filled with much regret. Like any human, of course I wish I could go back and do/say something differently, but I do not dwell on what has come and gone as much as I could and for that I am thankful!

I am trying so hard to enjoy each moment (day) as it comes because I realize how quickly they come and go. Although there were some 'lows' in my week, overall I had a wonderfully 'normal' week! I am really loving my new class this year and appreciate that I have a job that I enjoy. I have been able to spend some quality time with my husband now that his second set of boards are out of the way. I had a few evenings of church activities/small group to fill my spirit and I'm sitting on the chair with my warm cup of coffee awaiting a brand new, crisp fall day. Life is great! These simple days are truly the best!

I hope you all find rest and relaxation in your weekend and peace in your hearts for these 'simple' fall days! Maybe you'll even get so lucky as to have a warm apple crisp baking in the oven today. :)

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." -- Romans 15:13
