Kick Back
Do you feel guilty
if you allow yourself a few minutes' luxury of daydreaming? there's always
something to do, isn't there? Paul MacCready once stated in a speech:
"The only ideas
I've ever had have come form daydreaming, but modern life keep people from
daydreaming. Every moment of the day your mind is being occupied, controlled,
by someone else--at school, watching television....You need to just kick back
in a chair and let your mind daydream."
Schedule it on your
calendar if you have to, but carve out some time when you can put your feet up
and stare out the window. Take an hour and go sit quietly under a tree, with no
book, no companion and no agenda.
One important idea
that might come to you while there is that there is nothing you face which is
bigger or more powerful than our God.
So go ahead. Kick
back and try to imagine anything--anything--bigger than God. Then
strengthen yourself with the image of God wrapped around you.
What comfort!
