Stress Detox day 5 Daily Giveaway

The other day I posted a quote on the Stressed-Less Living book fan page that simply said “Is everything as urgent as your stress would imply?”

If we are honest with ourselves, our answer would probably be NO! Yet even knowing that, we still race through life, often without taking time to stop and smell the roses, or the Sweet Pea.

Sometimes we just need to pause and take time to rest. Physically, and spiritually.  We know that the Bible encourages us to be still and focus on God, in our hearts and in our actions, but this is especially hard when life is going one hundred miles an hour.

Today I want to encourage you to stop and rest, no matter how much chaos and busyness calls for your attention. Take a breather. Set aside time for Jesus. Slow down the pace. And maybe even pamper yourself a little bit. Rest in every form is good for the soul. So just be still.

And since it is the anniversary of 9/11, during your ‘still’ time today, be sure to pause and pray for all the families that were affected, and for God to cover our country with protection and provision. 

Today’s Giveaway: 
A signed copy of Stressed-Less Living
Sweet Pea Body Lotion
A Spa Pouf
A Mini Manicure set
A Worship CD

How to enter to win:
Click here to visit the Stressed-Less Living Facbook page, and “LIKE” it.    Then recommend the page to your Facebook friends!  Once you have done both of those things, hop back over here to my blog and leave a comment saying “I LIKED it and shared it!”

Isn’t this fun!?   🙂

    My momma should have named me Martha,Martha. I am always amazed by how the Holy Spirit works. On Sept. 11th your Stress Detox Day 5 E-mail was so appropriate.We already have a full house {3 children still at home} plus our daughter and husband and little grandbaby are staying with us while waiting to move into their new home. We were also blessed to have my nephew and his wife and 2 little one {3 & 1} visiting..then I had two friends {one I hadn’t met in person before, only prayed with over the phone} coming to spend the night and talk to some ladies at our church. I was barking orders left and right with some selfrighteous indignation thrown in while cleaning my way through the house….then I took a little break to calm down and read Day 5. As soon as I saw the verses from Luke I knew I was in trouble because the Lord was telling me those words all morning….
