The Respite is powerful.
A respite from work, vacation, Sunday drive, comfortable
chair in the house or in the yard.
A respite from the world via novel, walk, movie, bird watching,
or dark closet.
At work a respite in the break room with an energy bar can
bring a little life back into the legs.
At home a respite with coffee and snack can renew energy to
tackle that huge project.
The more Powerful Respite is God. He creates a space for me
every day, at my desk, at my chair, out by my oak tree, in my truck, in the
park, in the garden. A place where I can be alone with Jesus, read His Word,
listen to His Voice, and be renewed.
“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed
by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is,
that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” – Romans 12:2 NASB1995

The sky above's a furnace-blue,
and the vultures circle there,
thinking that just maybe you
may be on their bill of fare,
but sorry, birds, it's not today,
for I have a broader plan,
and soon will been my way
to measure 'gainst a crueler man
and from the outcome of this meeting
you may find some better eating.
Yeah. We have a resident buzzard (I call him Floyd) that visits during the summer to clean up the things that passed away ... due to escaped neighborhood dogs or random foxes ... or my 22. Thanks for visiting!
