From The Principal

This week as I was shuffling through my Prayer Box I happened across the following.

“Ease the pounding of my heart by the quieting of my mind; steady my hurried pace with a vision of the eternal reach of time.  Give me, amid the confusion of the day, the calmness of the everlasting hills.

Break the tensions of my nerves and muscles with the soothing music of singing streams that live in my memory.  Help me to know the magic of restoring sleep.

Teach me the art of taking minute vacations; of slowing down to look at a flower; to chat with a friend; to pat a dog; to read a few lines from the Scriptures.

Remind me each day of the fable of The Hare & The Tortoise so that I may know that the race is not always to the swift – that there is more to life than increasing its speed.

Let me look upward into the branches of the towering oak and know that it grew great and strong because it grew slowly and well.

Slow me down Lord, and inspire me to send my roots deep into the soil of life’s enduring values that I may grow toward the stars of my greater destiny.”

How often do you take time to slow down and look at the flowers around you?  Try to take a minute vacation each day this week and find where your God is talking to you!
