Slow Me Down Lord

Welcome Friends!

I have been praying to the Lord to help me keep
the priorities in my life in order. In the past
I was just such a Martha, so much of the time
just doing and not being. Being a listener of God.
I came across a bookmark that had this poem and I
wanted to share it with you.

Slow Me Down, Lord

Slow me down, Lord
Ease the pounding of my heart
by the quieting of my mind.
Steady my hurried pace with a
vision of the eternal reach of time.
Give me amid the confusion of the day,
the calmness of the everlasting hills.
Break the tensions of my nerves and
muscles with the soothing music of the
singing streams that live in my memory.
Help me to know the magical, restoring
power of (much needed) sleep.

Teach me the art of of taking minute
vacations of slowing down to look at
a flower, to chat with a friend, to
pat a dog, to read a few lines from a good book.
Slow me down, Lord, and inspire me to
send my roots into the soil of life's
enduring values that I may grow toward
the stars of my greater destiny.

By HJ Sherman

Well I know where my eternal destiny lies
and that is in Heaven with Jesus.

Take time today to sit at his feet
and be filled with His peace. Luke 10:38-42
Hugs, Susan
