Reflecting

Helping people is what I do.

Whether is simply welcoming them, showing them to their room and then getting out of the way, through to providing listening ear or something more formal, spiritual accompaniment, in terms of making the most of your Nano Nagle time some things remain the same

1. Remember your toothbrush

Toothbrushes are vital to Nano Nagle time etc

2. Turn off computers, phones and devices

Getting away means getting away. As the song goes “you always take the weather with you”, but while enjoying Nano Nagle time my advice is to leave the weather at home.

3. Early to bed, early to rise

We all have at least one thing that bugs us.

It may be a little itch, several itch spots or even a festering sore! Whatever it is, it may be a window to the soul.

Here’s the truth: The word still — as in “don’t move” — is not in my vocabulary. Stand still? Sit still? Lie still? Nope. I shift from foot to foot or wriggle in my chair or flip back and forth in bed every two minutes, searching for a more comfortable position.

So when God says, “Be still,” I know I’m in trouble. The words may sound soothing, but in Scripture they’re a gentle but firm reproof. “Calm down” (CEV), He says. “That’s enough!” (CEB). At the time these words were written, God was speaking very pointedly to His battle-prone people. “Stop fighting” (ERV), He told them, “cease striving” (NASB) and “desist” (YLT).

Okay, then.

It’s clear that in our own daily battles we’re to lay down our weapons and trust God for the victory, believing it will come in His perfect timing and according to His flawless plan. In the meantime, He tells us to rest in Him and “let go of your concerns!” (GW)

We nod in agreement even as we hang on to those concerns with both hands. If we don’t fret over our children’s future, who will? If we don’t worry about our parents’ health, who will? If we don’t agonize over life’s disappointments, big and small, who will?

He will. That’s what God wants us to understand.
