Slow Down the Clock

My son recently said, "Mommy! why do the weeks fly by?  It's just going so fast!!!" It was an odd thing to hear from an elementary-aged kid.

During Father Jack's sermon on Sunday, he unknowingly addressed my son's question.
"I find that if I sit with God each day, it helps slow down my life."  (Can't remember the direct quote, but this is essentially the message.)

Father Jack is so right.  I forced myself out of bed half an hour earlier yesterday, and just sat with the Lord while listening to the birds wake up, one by one.  Eight o'clock came around, and seemed like it should already be ten o'clock!  I enjoyed the entire day, peacefully.

So sit with the Lord each day...you'll feel grounded and will be able to see things much more clearly.
