My Joy Journal Day 13

It's Day 13!  Today I'd like to focus on those words from Winnie The Pooh who once said, "Don't underestimate the value of doing nothing."  I have a lot of trouble doing that - I am doing something all hours of the day, and often don't take time just to do nothing.  Even though we are human beings, I often act as if I am a human doing!

But there is tremendous value in just doing nothing - in resting, in reflecting, in just filling your mind with silence instead of the things that we are distracted with every moment of the day!

Today just try that.  Jesus did that a lot - he withdrew to a mountain or a solitary place, and prayed and opened his heart to God.  It seems to be right now that we need a whole lot more of that!  Give it a try today!

Here's the video:

And here's a beautiful A Capella recording of Be Still My Soul.  Enjoy as you still your own soul!
