Fresh and Gentle Breezes

We live our lives at such a fast pace lately, that we don't get beyond that superficial level.  We don't read a magazine, we skim through it.  We don't watch a tv program, we surf the channels.  We don't sit down to home-cooked meals, we buy our food at the drive-through and eat it on the way to our next stop.  We don't call anyone anymore, we text them.

We spend so much of our time and energy in a kind of horizontal thinking; moving from one quick thing to another, often in such a tizzy it wears us out.

Perhaps the best thing you can do during your coffee break today, is to do absolutely NOTHING!  Shut off your cell phone, turn off the ringer on your house phone, and shut off the tv.  Stare out the window, and put your heart and mind into neutral.
  
Communication with God -- prayer -- is a two-way conversation!  It is not just the voicing of praise and petitions, but often communion.  Sitting in silence with God, listening for whatever He may want to say.  Simply ENJOY the fact that He is, and you are, and you have a relationship with Him.  These special moments with God are when His fresh and gentle breezes can enter your heart and refresh you!
