Daily Devotion - Monday, July 26

A Time Away

“There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven: …
a time to be silent and a time to speak.”

From Hebrew literature (Ecclesiastes 3: 1, 7)

As we begin another week, I am looking forward to some time away. It is almost time to head for the mountains of Colorado and camp with the Colorado kids and grandkids! Vacation begins soon!

There is a time for everything, including vacation time. Self-care is an important part of our work. To be away from all the business, or should I call it “busy-ness”, can be most helpful.

We are giving careful attention to the details of this trip since it is our first camping experience in quite a while. I think we are ready, particularly if I can remember the following prayer attributed to the great musician, Duke Ellington:

“Every person prays in his/her own language,
And there is no language that God does not understand.”


Have a good week!
