Slow Down
“And He said to them, ‘Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.’ For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat”
(Mark 6:31)
In the deep jungles of Africa, a traveler was making a long trek. Coolies had been engaged from a tribe to carry the loads. The first day they marched rapidly and went far. The traveler had high hopes of a speedy journey, but on the second morning these jungle tribesmen refused to move. For some strange reason they just sat and rested. On inquiry as to the reason for this strange behavior, the traveler was informed that they had gone too fast the first day, and that they were now waiting for their souls to catch up with their bodies.

Often, in the mad rush of our hectic, rat-race society we have very little time to enjoy the simple things of life. Our lives seem to be going in all directions with very little time for rest or peace. Perhaps it would be good for us to slow down and let our souls catch up with our bodies. Author Unknown
