PAUSE

Whether it’s Memorial Day or a day you plan to take off make sure you pause.  A pause will help you enjoy the moments that God is placing in front of your eyes.  A pause is an opportunity to be rested and rejuvenated.  So here are a few do’s and don’ts to help you find the peace and joy of a transitional pause:

DON’T
Watch Television
Check Your Email
Think About Ministry
Embark On Huge Home Projects
Sleep The Day Away

DO
Spend Quiet Time With God
Read A Book
Take A Nap
Go For A Walk
Cook Outside On The Grill

Those are my do’s and don’ts what would you add to the list?
