Too Busy?

Mark 6:31 NCV
Crowds of people were coming and going so that Jesus and his followers did not even have time to eat. He said to them, “Come away by yourselves, and we will go to a lonely place to get some rest.”

Confession; I work for the church and all too often I have very little time to breathe. Reading this verse this morning reminded me of a simple yet profound statement:

If we are too busy for God, then we are much busier than He ever intended for us to be.

So today, I plan to breathe. Not shallow, non sustaining breaths, but really deep ones. I plan to "see" people. Actually look and listen when engaged in conversation and take rest in the fact that I am a child of God and He loves me unconditionally. Just as I am.

Care to join me?
