Take Care of You

According to the National Day Calendar, today is National Stay At Home Because You Are Well Day. Well, unfortunately, it falls on a Friday, the last day of a month, with lots to do. However, if you can take advantage of this unique opportunity, then, by all means, enjoy a day of wellness at home.

We all need to take a break from time to time to recuperate and to recharge. In this busy society, especially in this busy time of year, there is ALWAYS something to do, somewhere to go, someone to see. BUT, we also need to take a few minutes every now and then and just catch our breath and rest.

Today's word is Mark 6:31, ESV, which reads, "And He said to them, 'Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.' For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat."

The disciples were busy doing good things, ministering to countless people who truly needed it. But, as we read in today's passage, they were so busy they didn't even have time to eat. You can't take care of others if you don't take care of yourself. You can't help others if you become so weak that you have to be helped. We all need to rest.

Look, it is National Stay At Home Because You are Well Day, and maybe you are like the majority of us and that is not an option, but, when you get a chance, today, tomorrow, this weekend, next week, take a break. We all need to take a break and get some rest. Again, you can't take care of others if you don't take care of you.

Be Blessed,
