Vacation is for Rest and Rest is Impossible Without God!

I was already meditating on this blog when Ember echoes from the back seat, "Why do we have to go to church tonight too?!"

I can't say I blame her! When I was her age I was never to awfully excited about vacation church services. Let's face it... In the mind of a child the church house will probably never be as exciting as The Magic Kingdom!

This blog isn't for kids. It's for you and I. I finally find myself attending church on vacation not because I'm a preacher, or because my dad(and Pastor) is with me. I'm now realizing that without God rest is impossible! It is He who brings peace, rest, and comfort to my heart, mind, soul, and life.

I say that and we would all probably agree that it is true! So, why is it then that we go on vacation seeking rest from the rat race of life, and to ground ourselves again, but we leave out the One who brings us rest? We are seeking grounding, but walk away from our Foundation?

As you get away this summer get closer this summer, and see what True Rest really is!

From my heart,
Richard
