My favorite verse. A lesson I still struggle with. Be still. How? I bought those sketchers a couple of years ago, you know the ones that promise a flat tummy without stepping into a gym. HA! I had to learn to stand still in those shoes, they are curved on the bottom. I still struggle with standing still in them. Be still. How? I have so much to do, only 24 hours to do it. Run from room to room, forget why I entered the room in the first place. Cross off chores from my list. Be still. When? Even in my sleep I turn, wake, adjust. Be still. The verse is still in the Bible, still speaking to me. I am still learning how to be still.
Ha, I wondered about those shoes! We sound like we live similar lives with our "to-do lists". It is very hard to be still and honestly when do we? I've actually added it to my list of things to do...daily...haha!
ReplyDeleteI recently thought of the scenario when flying and in the event the oxygen mask is needed to first take care of yourself and then help another if needed. Well I find that true in every day life. If I don't stop to breath and take care of me I'll never be able to take care of those around me that I love so dearly.
