LET'S DE-STRESS WITH A NEW SEASON

"To every thing there is a season,
and a time to every purpose under the heaven . . ." 
~Ecclesiastes 3:1      

SUMMER is right around the corner. Again, God gives A NEW SEASON.

Stress survivors welcome changing seasons. We anticipate the progression of big and beautiful changes; weather changes . . . scenery changes . . .  routine changes . . . and even de-stress changes. 

No doubt, new seasons bring on new stresses. As exciting as the summer season can be, certain stresses are bound to creep in. That's why it's important that we consider a de-stress plan--before the season sets in.

With so many summer options to choose from, we can embrace all kinds of de-stress. And, get this, money need not be an issue. Some of the most phenomenal means of de-stress are those simple things surrounding us.

 Sit down. Look around. Let's de-stress with a new season. And let's enjoy all those wonderful things God has given us. 

Peace I leave with you . . .

REMAIN SILENT

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
. . . a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;"
Ecclesiastes 3:1, 7b

You have the right to remain silent; anything you say can be used against you . . .

So says the law.

Just as these words are serious warnings to criminals concerning unlawful behavior, they equally apply to stress and stressful behavior.

Whether currently in a stressful situation or not, surely we've all witnessed how battling back and forth--in whatever form or fashion--can lead to mega stresses.

Though it's not always easy, stress survivors see the difference that remaining silent can make. When we anticipate chaos and confusion with family, friends, or foes, it is our inalienable right to remain silent.

Often, peace prevails in the midst of silence. As stress-survivors, we understand why more and more of us seek our own peaceful sanctuay. And because we're so diligent in pursuing peace, we'd do well to exercise our rights.

Not only do we have the right to remain silent, but even more impressive we have the right to avoid stress by whatever means necessary.



Peace I leave with you . . .
