True Vacation

God has always intended for man to rest. We were always designed to set aside at least one full day out of the week to do nothing. This day was meant to be a time to meditate on God and His teachings but it was meant to be so much more. I believe it was meant to be a reminder that life goes on even when we do nothing. The world keeps spinning even when we stop doing.

I think this is one of the great lessons of a true vacation. I know that my wal-mart will still open up tomorrow at 6 am even though I'm not there tonight. God will still be working in the lives, hearts and minds of people in Sugar Grove despite the fact my family is in Florida.

God is so much bigger than us and He is doing so much more than we can even begin to comprehend. We can easily lose sight of this when we are living our daily lives. We get so focused on our life that we begin to think of ourselves as more important than what we really are. We lose sight of the fact that in the grand scheme of things we are but one small pieces to the puzzle.

This does not mean though that what we do lacks value or importance. It is rather a reminder to keep things in perspective. It is a reminder that at the end of the day it is still just (insert your place of work here) and that all of the worry and stress will still be there no matter how much you worry about it and that some times you just gotta take a vacation! :)
