Slow Down and Live Many of us rush through our days as well as rush through our meals. Often we let ourselves get so busy that we do not enjoy what we are doing or what we are eating. We swallow life in great gulps instead of savoring it moment by moment. Hurry and busyness are forms of self-will. Deluded by an exaggerated sense of our own importance, we deem it crucial to perform all tasks and activities according to our personal schedule. Impatient with traffic tie-ups, other peoples slowness, or unavoidable delays, we make ourselves tense and miserable by our refusal to accept life as it comes. Time spent each day in quiet meditation can give us glimpses of Gods timelessness. We see that our schedule is not that important after all, when measured against eternity. As the presence of God seeps into our consciousness, we relax into the fullness and peace of each moment. Trusting our Higher Power to order our lives, we can slow down and enjoy Gods gifts. May I exchange hurry and busyness for Your peace.
