“I have a plaque hanging up in my home and that says, success is knowing when to stop and play..Amen..and of course for me I think well, too enjoy life, yes, we all must learn to stop and play..stop long enough to escape from your routine..step away from the schedule..do that thing that you love to do..Amen..enjoy the quietness..or for some they prefer the noise..go to that perfect spot as to where you get your thoughts collected..take the day to go for a hike..maybe go on that fishing trip..go on a long car ride..or just simply stay in your house, keep the blinds closed..keep the pajamas on and as they say binge watch your favorite tv series..or watch them movies that you’ve been wanting to see..go visit your family or friends..maybe even could be for some..just to step in their kitchen and bake their favorite desserts..or take the time to cook that meal they’ve been longing to make..you know that one that takes a few hours..more so than that 30 minute quick meal that we all make during the work week..Amen!”

“But what I do know is that to live a wonderful life..to live a happy life..you have to do them things that you love..that you enjoy..because work is a part of your life..Amen..it’s not your whole life..Amen..so don’t just rush through the rest your life..and never stopping long enough to enjoy life at it’s best..because we have a wonderful world guys in which we live..and it’s ours for the taking..but we have to make the time..we have to take the time..and we have to care enough about our own well being to make it happen..for we all have the same amount of time..and it’s up to us too choose what we do with that time..for some people they do make the time..and you wonder how in the world can they do that?..but they do it!..for some they have to let other things go..like maybe cleaning the house on the weekends like you normally would do?..or maybe it is laundry day..but you have to say well you know the laundry can wait..I have other clothes I can wear..Amen..or even the grass getting cut..I’m not sure guys..but what I am saying to everyone today is this..take time for you and your soul..Amen..take time to step away..get your thoughts collected..get your cup so to speak filled up..and simply be quiet and rest a while..Amen!”

“For the scripture says that there is a place to enter into rest just as the Lord did..Hebrews 4:9-10..and as well in the book of Matthew it tells us to take the Fathers yoke upon us and to learn from Him..for His yoke is easy and His burden is light..Matthew 11:29-30..Amen..so we are to work but as well we are to enjoy the fruit of our labor..Psalm 128:2/Ecclesiastes 5:18-20..Amen..so just know that success in life is truly knowing when to stop and play..to really enjoy this life that we have been blessed with is knowing when to stop and play..Amen..so let us all enjoy our lives..making the time to do the thing or things that we so enjoy..Amen..and than we restore our soul..we keep our cup filled..Psalm 23:1-6..Amen..we don’t get dried up or burned out..Amen..so let us take time for us..and our lives..Amen..for this is as well what I always say, we can’t give away to any one else what we ourselves don’t have..Amen..in other words we have to stay filled and happy with our lives..and than we can spew out that happiness onto the lives of others and be a blessing to them and their lives..Amen..so think about your trip..think about what you want to do..Amen..and then step away and make it happen..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go, and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
