My Journey to God

Holy Leisure

Rest. Go for walks.
Smell the fragrance of the garden.
Enjoy the play of children.
Watch the birds and butterflies.
Nap as the afternoon rain shower passes by,
refreshing the Earth.

Sit in the shade sipping iced tea.
Spend time talking to loved ones.
Watch the sunset,
colors changing the landscape,
touching everything with light
turning to twilight.

Look into the eyes of strangers,
friends and family,
and see Jesus.
Join the family of God, saying prayers.
Read. Relax. Enjoy the summer winds,
thankful for holy leisure.
