Need To Get Away?

 


But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.1 Peter 2:9

Ever just need to retreat and step away from things for an hour or so or maybe all day?(I don’t recommend this if you have children at home.)Anyway right now I am writing from a local grocery store that has an upstairs loft with tables for eating or whatever. They call it the Kuna Kave spelled with a K not a C. 

A place I like to periodically get away to is a park where I can have a Day Alone With God also known as a DAWG day. When the temperatures are hovering at 25 degrees unless you like cold it is probably not going to be your thing. In Florida no problem but Idaho bundle up.  Was thinking on one of my free days before 25 December I might do that.  This is a time you go and talk to God, read your Bible and leave phone off. 

At this time of year many are lonely and the loneliness is accentuated since it is a ‘family gathering holiday’. Lonely due to being estranged from loved ones. Lonely in prison.  Lonely being in a nursing home or hospital. Lonely serving our Armed Forces far from home. If you feel you have a right to feel lonely think about those homeless at this time of year or mentally ill who can’t cope. Right now stop and count your blessings. Release wrong thoughts and regain mental clarity. Stop comparing and be grateful. Now go be a blessing. 

PRAYER: Lord you are kind and great. Many broken hearted in our world need you to let them know you are there. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
