So grateful to have found my "just laugh cup" picture this morning since yesterday that very special cup shattered. I'm still finding stray pieces. I'm not laughing yet but I am thankful to have this image reminder of a favorite mug with an oft needed message from my dear Saturday prayer warrior, Wynellen. She knows my temperament and I can trust her to pray for my needs. This week I need to "chill" a bit. Hubby says just "unlax" so that all my self-imposed strain and tension will ebb away! Easier said that done for me.
To relax and unwind.
For sure choosing to unwind after a non-stop vacation with adult kids and 7 grands has been a must. As Jim Newman reminded me, "Keeping up with folks (16 for us) at Disney is like herding squirrels."
I think I'm better at herding than I am at unwinding and resting.
O, that I had the wings of a dove. I would fly away and be at rest. (Psalms 55:6)
Many grandma friends seem to have the same propensity---to keep on feeling responsible for all their herd. Sweet friend, Angie, who gave me the My One Word book chose "Ease" as her one word.
Her verse is Matthew 11:28, "Come unto me....and I will give you rest."
As we are "wired" similarly, I certainly understand her choices.
Also, we both understand the need for divine intervention. It takes His power in order for some of us to slowdown.
For the tightly wound up, it's hard to choose unwinding but it's a must, especially as we age!
