Joy for the Journey

     Life is hectic and busy for most people in this day and age.  There seems to be constant noise surrounding us and endless rings from cell phones to plague us.  Being still in the light of God's presence can get to be quite difficult.  But stillness is so necessary in our day to day lives.  Kneeling at the throne of God in prayer, being in His Word, and being quiet in His presence is as vital to our souls as the vitamins we need to keep our bodies healthy. The chronic illness that has kept me homebound the past twelve years have provided me with so much time to be still.  That stillness has been an incredible blessing in my life.  So make time each and every day at least once a day to be still before the Lord.  Soak up the rays of His light and your outlook for the day will be bright.
