A Time to Rest

   So many people today are so caught up in their lives they forget to just stop and enjoy it. I believe we have made celebrating things too stressful and too unimportant.  We have days devoted to resting and enjoying life such as: Sunday, birthdays, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the Sabbath. However, these days and the days leading up to them are so stressful that instead of being days of joy and rest, they are stressful and unhappy events. There are days set aside in the bible and each one serves a specific purpose. Christmas and Easter do not significantly teach God’s stories and we do not truly stop and take the entire day to enjoy life and the people going through it with us. We are creatures of habit and always looking for something to do. We are supposed to appreciate the people that God has placed in your life for we do not know exactly how long they will be there with you along this journey we call life. For we will all eventually pass away and leave those we have cared for and impacted behind. It is up to us to take the time to enjoy and appreciate the life God has given us by relaxing and enjoying the time we spend with one another.
