Good morning…
While on our women’s retreat the first weekend of December, I met a small, sweet book. The Art Of Pausing: Meditations for the Overworked and Overwhelmed. In a simple, inviting pattern the authors offer poems, photographs and short reflections on the names of God, the character of our Creator from whom all blessings flow. When life spins out of our control, we stop, we surrender, we savor stability. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever (Hebrews 13:8, NIV).
“We stop, look, listen,” says the book introduction. “These are haiku moments. Throughout the ages, Japenese poets have written brief meditations aimed at drawing out something sacred in every season… For the contemporary person seeking to slow down amid the tyranny of Twitter, the stress of the slow commute, and the seemingly endless demands of work and family, haiku moments provide pauses written on our days.”
May the blessings of divine grace and supernatural peace that flow from God our wonderful Father, and our Messiah, the Lord Jesus, be upon your lives (Philippians 1:2, TPT).
