Over a year ago, we started going out for Sunday afternoon drives… exploring the small communities across the river where my great grandfather settled after the Chaco war… In just over half an hour, we’d be far from the pressures, humidity and the rat race of the city... (and the cell phone) ...enjoying God’s creation - the palm trees flowing in the breeze (okay... wind)... the birds singing... the multiple shades of greens... The dogs were free to chase around wildly after bugs... we’d come back feeling refreshed... like we had gone on a mini vacation... but without having spent any money except on gas... (Anyone want to come and visit?)
I think in any job, ministry or even family situation... the pressures of dealing with people, expectations, over-crowded scheduling or instant messaging/communication can overpower our life... extinguishing (or at least dampening) the joys of quiet... solitude... peace...
