Blessed by Slowing Down
By Mindy Johnson in Finding the Heart of God, General
I am sitting here on my laptop, my keys silenced for a short spell.  I am touched.

The TV is keeping my kids attention for a little while, and that's okay b/c they are watching "Angel Wars," a cartoon movie where spiritual warfare is perfectly demonstrated.
I am hard at work, family newsletter to get out, hurry, hurry, hurry, get it done. A client needs things done to their website, hurry, hurry, hurry.  Jeff needs me to create an invoice for another client....so much to do!

I get an email that someone sent me a card, you know...one of those with music and you touch this and this happens, and when you have much to do, it seems to take forever!
I heard a small voice tell me to slow down for a moment and take in this card that someone thought to send me.
I am so glad I did!

It was so gentle, and tender.  A small voice sings as the story of the birth of Christ unfolds in such a beautiful way.  It took less than five minutes and my spirit was restored to a tenderness and I tear up at thinking I could have missed this opportunity to remember the miracle and quiet perfection the way our Jesus came to earth.

And I was blessed by slowing down.
