A Place of Quiet Rest
In our last vacation together four years ago Janice and I visited several places including Mt. Rushmore. It wasn't the most restful vacation since I did all the driving and had to watch Janice carefully every minute since she was increasingly getting worse. That was our last vacation together and I knew it would be.
A vacation is good for body and soul. What is amazing is that an insurance company did a survey and found that one out of every six workers in America do not take all the vacation days they have earned. They believe they don't have the luxury of time away from work or daily responsibilities.
Ps. 23 paints a beautiful word picture of quiet meadows and still waters. But it is the Lord who gives us rest not the green grass or flowing stream; indeed, "He restores my soul..." Have you found peace and rest in God yet?
Cleland McAfee wrote these beautiful words in a Christian hymn, "There is a place of quiet rest, near to the heart of God, A place where sin cannot molest, Near to the heart of God...There is a place of comfort sweet, Near to the heart of God, A place where we our Savior meet, Near to the heart of God."
