Slow down!

Do you wish you had more time for relationships? Tsh Oxenreider writes here,

There is a direct correlation between being too busy and being about others—the more crammed our schedules, the less time we have to give others.

When we only allow nooks and crannies in our days for rest, time alone, and self-care, then we are left threadbare to love others when they most need it. When our calendars are scribbled out in the margins because they are too full, we have no way to empty ourselves out in sacrifice.

If we want to put others first, like Jesus? Then we must. slow. down. It’s the only way we as a Body can survive, thrive, be who we are meant to be in this rapid, rapid world.
