“Then Jesus said, ‘Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.’ He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat.” Mark 6:31 NLT
One of the questions of pet ownership is what to do with him when you go on vacation. Why not take him with you? Famous does very well with our daily routine, but as hard as I try, I cannot avoid leaving him on the periphery when my day gets complicated. So to promote renewal, bonding, and stimulation, he gets packed up with the suitcase and off we go!
On a road trip Famous is with me 24/7. This takes planning and maneuvering, and cooperative hosts. The bonus for Famous are all the new sites, smells, and sounds. For me, I have companionship, an instant conversation starter with complete strangers, and an extra sense of security. Win-win.
Christians have a responsibility, and in fact an example in Christ, to allow retreat into their lives. Taking a break from a hectic world can give new perspective and direction for accomplishing God’s will. The insight and energy God will give you can last long after the vacation is over.
Even today, God, give me moments of renewal and refreshment!
