Reflection

Be still

Be still and know

A child skips or runs and must be reminded

We are taught to slow down, be aware

A teenager must learn to think before acting

There are consequences, some find too late

A young adult rushes to make the most of life

So they won't turn out like mom and dad

By mid-age, there are no need for reminders

Our bodies begin the assault on youth and exuberance

The elderly know the pause. They know to be still

But not all know...

Not all recognize to be still and know that He is God

Faith has followed them always from the halls of kindergarten

To the walls of the homes they were put in when they "couldn't" anymore

Some find too late that if only they had paused, if they had looked for...

Well, they might have found joy in each moment along their way

The good thing about Faith, is that it's never too late, so

Be still and know
