Hello ,
Architect Frank Lloyd Wright once told of an incident that may have seemed insignificant at the time, but had a profound influence on the rest of his life. The winter he was 9, he went walking across a snow-covered field with his reserved, no- nonsense uncle. As the two of them reached the far end of the field, his uncle stopped him. He pointed out his own tracks in the snow, straight and true as an arrow's flight, and then young Frank's tracks
meandering all over the field. "Notice how your tracks wander aimlessly from the fence to the cattle to the woods and back again," his uncle said. "And see how my tracks aim directly to my goal. There is an important lesson in that."
Years later the world-famous architect liked to tell how this experience had greatly contributed to his philosophy in life. "I determined right then," he'd say with a twinkle in his eye, "not to miss most things in life, as my uncle had."
We can often miss some of the most incredible moments in life by staying too busy. Sometimes God wants us to stop, rest, rejuvenate, and relax. Yes, God wants us to "stop and smell the roses." There's no guilt in resting, and our Heavenly Father has made provision for us to rest in Him. Exodus 20:8-11
Have a great day and God bless!
