Slow Down

Slowing it down today. The good Lord is never in a hurry, anyway.
He's taking His sweet time. He's more concern with us
than our dreams...

Slow down; God is still in heaven. You are not responsible for doing it all yourself, right now.

Remember a happy, peaceful time in your past. Rest there. Each moment has richness that takes a lifetime to savor.
Taste your food. God gives it to delight as well as to nourish.
Count your blessings - one at a time and slow. ~author unknown

For fast-acting relief, try slowing down. ~Lily Tomlin

It is important from time to time to slow down, to go away by yourself, and simply be. ~Eileen Caddy
