Sometimes when we have a busy day ahead, our quiet times come when we can get them. My AAA Adult, Lisa and I call morning showers on youth trips "Alleluia Moments." When you wake up after a night of partying and worshipping God and just need that hot water to wake you up. Your muscles are achy. You probably don't smell so lovely. All of these things need "alleluia moments."
I often do my best thinking in the shower. There is quiet, it is relaxing. And my senses are very aware.
This morning's shower was a needed "Alleluia Moment." I know that it is going to be a long, fun day and finding that peace beforehand was really needed.
Sometimes in my life slowing down is difficult. I don't let myself do it. I have to stay busy busy busy to not focus on the stress of the world. Or sometimes I really am busy with responsibilities and duties to perform.
I have to say the hot water was the wake up I needed today. Obviously I don't smell like Suzy Mc Grimey pants anymore which is good. But more importantly, relaxing and slowing down to feel the love and peace that I needed came at a good time.
It's all still a learning process but it is too important to not embrace even the smallest lengths of solace with God.
AMEN
