“Rest is the ability to totally trust God without living under the stress of the cares of life.” Perry Stone

Kicking off the week with a positive thought.

This quote resonated deeply. When I think of setting aside the stresses of the everyday, my mind goes straight to a perfect day sitting under a large oak tree, parked on a pond bank watching the fog roll out of reach, or kicked back on the porch with a good book and fresh cup of coffee. How often do you take a moment to do…nothing?

As I watch the sun climb over our eastern mountain, I am reminded how important it is to stand still, take it all in. Life only simmers down when we let it. God has created beauty in every direction, so no matter which way were facing, splendor is there.
