Silence. Solitude. Quietness of thought and heart. How foreign these words are to us. The faster we go the behinder we get! We are living in a rat race but the rat is outpacing us. How do we get out of the fast lane and slow down enough to enjoy the scenery of life? Like anything worth having, it takes discipline. I remember countless road trips as a child driving with my 4 siblings from New Mexico to Echo Lake which is a spectacular lake not far from Tahoe's south shores. My favorite part of those drives were the stops. We would all pile out and run to look at whatever scenic spot my dad had chosen for us. Sometimes it was something educational and other times it was just a convenience store that had a CANDY aisle. Treats were one of my dad's love languages and we loved being loved! Soon we would all pile back in, settle down with our snacks and once again be content to resume playing the license plate game or "guess how long this stretch of the road is"?
How beneficial it would be to each of us as adults to plan some daily pit stops. Push away from your desk, stop working on your to do list, turn off the phone and pull over for a minute. Pick up a book and read a chapter, get outside and look at God's creation, call a friend you've been out of touch with, find a sunny spot, sit down, close your eyes and do absolutely nothing. My dad knew just how much his children could handle before needing a diversion from the journey. Your heavenly Father knows the same. When you feel like the road it too long, the speed too fast, the bumps too many, pull over and get out of the car. God will refresh you and pour His sustaining power into your life for whatever the trip holds. You are never too old for a treat!
