On more than one occasion here I have suggested that you ..and me, that we should slow down and enjoy life. Take time to relax. Well we call relaxing getting up before sunrise, driving over an hour to the coast. Launching our kayaks in clouds of mosquito and getting to see this! Yes that is relaxing...
It also makes the afternoon nap that much more enjoyable!
The famous writer George Washington Sears :(Nessmuk) wrote
"We do not go to the green woods and crystal waters to rough it, we go to smooth it. We get it rough enough at home; in towns and cities; in shops, offices, stores, and banks.
This quote seems to fit our lives today more than ever. It is interesting to me that wisdom from the late 1800's is still true today.
James 1
5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and [h]without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8 being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
Great thoughts and a great passage of Scripture!
