take some time for YOU!

Good morning and Happy Wednesday, well another birthday has come and gone and oddly enough I feel no different today being 50 than I did day before yesterday being 49:) I loved so much all of the wonderful things written on facebook by so many well wishers:) I loved spending time with my G-babes, they are such sweet little souls so full of wonder and pure goodness!
This morning in prayer as I sat in the howling winds of the outside world, feeling an ever so random raindrop on my face, I prayed for all of my family and friends that they might have "a break" today, that whatever might be heavy upon their hearts or piercing their thoughts might be lulled to sleep today to give them a fresh new look at a tireless problem. Sometimes when I am overwhelmed, when I am lost in a raging sea, when my body does not seem to be able to keep up with  my racing brain, I pray for tranquility. In tranquility I mean, a tranquil mind, one that seems to have been put into a coma so that my body and my spirit can come into alignment. You know the old saying, it will all look better in the morning? I like to get into that mode of thought and let today "sleep" Today I asked God to give us all a "break" to give us a chance to honestly smell the roses, to taste the coffee, to catch a clue...so today if you find yourself being able to escape from the storms of life, being able to see the sunshine even if the sky is cloudy, to hear the sound of the wind rushing through the leaves on the ground instead of the hustle bustle of the world....thank him for answered prayers! It is okay to deny the moments problems at times in order to get the big picture hung just right on the wall! I love each of you and again thank you for being a part of my life. Take some time for you today, after all, without a happy you how can there be a happy life? Love in Christ!!!!
