And on the 7th day....

....we created! Blasphemy? No! Just a wonderful Sunday evening sitting with the kids and a few cans of play dough. Yep, a great recipe for a good, relaxing time.

As I sat there with my kids, I had the realization that I just don't do that kind of thing often enough. Life gets "busy" (a word easily thrown around), but I've been contemplating cultures that live life at a slower pace, even some Americans have mastered it, yet accomplish much.

Do we have to give into the American speed of life? Is it possible to live here and not give into the craze? Can we avoid being trampled if we slow down? YES!!! I truly believe it is. This is my quest. I believe it isn't so much our schedule, though they can often be trimmed back, but more of our heart, mind and organization! Uggghhh, the "O" word. I'll let you know how it goes!

Meanwhile, I'll relish in the relaxing Sabbath we shared with family, friends, play dough, and the lessons He continues to teach.






Must note, someone mixed pink into my green, hence the "chicken pox" spot!
