Saturday Writing by Carol Steficek......2/25/17

Good Morning,

Carol Steficek is the writer of today's writing. Her title is, "NURTURED AND REFRESHED"  Carol points out that when a person is overextended by her life and her extreme willingness to work for the good others, that person is out of control. Carol wrote, "Maybe it's time to step back, go back to God, and let Him nurture and refresh you.  God doesn't want us to do so much that we disintegrated.  He wants to give you direction." This gives all of us who are into to much service something to think about.

Hope you have a restful weekend!

God bless,

Carol & Corinne

"NURTURED AND REFRESHED"

"Repent, then, and turn to God,
so that your sins may be wiped out,
that times of refreshing may come

 from the Lord..."
Acts 3:19a

    

    

Have you ever been so busy during the day that when you finally went to bed you were so tired that you had difficulty relaxing enough to go to sleep?

     Have you ever awakened during the night and not been able to get back to sleep because your mind was churning?

     

     Have you been so busily involved in church and community activities, "doing good" that you seem to be neglecting not only your family but especially your own needs?

     Maybe it's time to step back, go back to God, and let Him nurture and refresh you.  God doesn't want us to do so much that we end up disintegrated.  He wants to give you direction.

      

      That is why we have a "body" of Christ.  We are all members of the same body and each of us have gifts and talents to contribute.  No one person can or should do it all.  God hasn't designed us for "burn-out."  Take time every day to spend with the Lord and receive refreshment which only He can provide.  Feed on His Word for your own nourishment.  Come to the Lord.
