WHO has time to think?

The boys are wrestling, running, and screaming in the house often during Summer. Most of the screaming comes from their constant disappointment while playing Fort Nite. I find it hard to THINK when noise levels are high.

Come to think of it - WHEN was the last time I had the opportunity to think?

The world is moving so fast. In just a month the kids will be back in school. There are many unnecessary items that fight for our attention. If we get a moment to ourselves, we don't sit in silence and think. NO we reach for our the tv, Neflix or our phone to see the latest notification or email that came into our inbox. A red traffic light, in 2018, isn't time to think either. It's now time to scan email, buy a pair of shoes, respond to a text, turn on the music or apply makeup.

WHEN was the last time YOU had the opportunity to think?

Carving out space to think is important for our mental health. It is very tempting to use a silent moment to peruse through social media BUT that can lead to wasted time. Some of the greatest innovations in our life came when someone took the time to THINK. Now that the fast paced world is crowding out that time, we must be more intentional to find and leverage it.

Some of the problems and challenges you face can be solved if you allowed yourself time to creatively THINK and come up with a solution. Be courageous to follow your inner voice. So many other voices clamor to tell you what to do. THINK for yourself. Allow God to guide your thinking. It is amazing what five minutes of breathing, listening and thinking can do for our inner soul. (Posted by Roslyn)

This week we encourage you just to THINK! #ponderathought

Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it.
