i like how you explore that quote, Nancy. Slowing down to be present, to hold that special moment, to wake up to God – not slow as lazy, You used the word bored – perfect. I am trying to be more aware of moments during the day, pause, breath and smile at God – I like that type of slowing down.

Nor are we bored, as in a slow business meeting. Neither do we want to be slow to respond either.

who would have guessed four simple seconds. I know that empowered me! Then I read today and will have to share on the blog: Slowing Down doesn’t mean slow. mmmm, will have to ponder that one. Love your prompt of taking sips of coffee or tea! that would work. I am working on when I see birds and as I travel in the car – I smile and thank God. Thanks Nancy for being a part of my journey!

Who would have thought four seconds could make such a difference? I do want to incorporate more worship and listening moments into my days. I’m trying to let sips of coffee or tea be my prompt to pause–to taste and see that God is good. Still working on making that action a habit! Thank you again, Jean, for these rich spiritual lessons!
