Renewal

We are in the Holiday recovery mode and are weary. From time to time, it is necessary to take a break. It is vital to prevent burnout and refresh ourselves. We need rest to be the best we can be and do our jobs as parents, employees, and citizens. Along with resting, we need meditation. Ok, if you are reading this, I am preaching to the choir again. However, many rest and renew their minds and bodies without thinking of renewing their spirit. They forget to pray or recognize the Lord’s role in their lives. Others neglect their bodies. It is easy to overeat during the holidays and skip a workout. That’s a double-edged sword that I have been guilty of for years. That’s what New Year’s resolutions are all about. We will do fine next year. The message from Isaiah above is to keep hope in the Lord, keep him in your life, and he will help you soar like an eagle. Thought for Today: Let us think about keeping God in the forefront of our minds. Prayer for Today: Father, we ask that you fill us with your spirit and strength and guidance. Amen
