IF THE ONLY PRAYER YOU SAID IN YOUR LIFE WAS "THANK YOU", THAT WOULD SUFFICE. ~Meister Eckhart

04.08.06

God can work through you better when you are not hurrying. Go very slowly, very quietly, from one duty to the next, taking time to rest and pray between. Do not be too busy. Take everything in order. Venture often into the rest of God and you will find peace.

Today I am grateful...
  • for the permission to take it easy ('Easy Does It')
  • that a head held high will improve your posture
  • for keeping some free space in my mind so new things can have a place to rest
  • that the human eye can behold millions of colors
  • for the remembrance of yesterday, the luxury of today and the promise of tomorrow


All work that results from resting with God is good work. Claim the power to work miracles in human lives. Know that you can do many things through the Higher Power. Know that you can do good things through God who rests you and gives you strength. Partake regularly of rest and prayer. ~quotes from Twenty-Four Hours a Day

I have LOTS of free space in my mind. Stuff just keeps leaking out.

I read the meditation this morning and it really hit home.... I need to slow down and go quietly, instead of like that bull in the china shop. Thanks for the reminder. : ) I needed the permission to take it easy : )

"God can work through you better when you are not hurrying"

Since I woke up I have experienced this -- the results and benefits of slowing down. God's messengers are amazing -- and I needed to be reminded of this as I continue my day.

Thanks messenger ;)
