“So they left by boat for a quiet place, where they could be alone.” Mark 6:32 NLT
One place where Famous will not willingly follow me is into the shower. Maybe once or twice as a puppy he was curious to see where I was going behind the glass shower door, but once he realized it was that place where you get wet he was content to let me go it alone. So this became a time he had to himself, often a prelude to my leaving him alone, or occasionally setting out together for the day. He usually, therefore, will take the opportunity to climb up onto the bed for a bit of undisturbed rest while I proceed with the shower.
There is a need for daily reflection and retreat. We cannot vacation each day, but we can withdraw from the bustle to breathe, pray, and re-energize. I have found that even a few seconds can give new energy to the task at hand, especially if God has directed the effort.
Father, remind me of Your ever-abiding Spirit of renewal.
