R is for Rest and Relaxation

I thought it would be appropriate to use these two words as the expressions for today.  I have been on vacation and have not posted for over a week.  I am still on vacation, but missed writing, so here are a few thoughts.

It is important, as we journey along the path leading us out of our bondage to food, to take time to relax and enjoy our life.  It is also important to enjoy the journey we are on.  I find that time away from home and routine helps me to refocus and rejuvenate and refresh my outlook.  How have you taken time out this summer?  Have you gotten away from it all?  Did you deliberately plan an escape, if only for a day? 

Life is fun and we need to remember God wants us to be happy.  I find my happiness is reinforced when I take time for me; when I take time out from life's routine for some R and R.

Scripture encouragement for today is from 2 Peter 1:3, "Everything you need God has placed within you."
