This is a powerful invitation: to practice the pause.
I believe when we learn to discipline ourselves enough to pause, we not only grow in our own discernment and self-discipline, but we also choose to love others in the midst of the pause. I have learned that pausing allows me to recalibrate. I am aware that in those moments, my prayer is, Lord, give me wisdom, insight, kindness, empathy, and courage to act in a way that brings life to the other person I am with.
In your comings and goings during this holiday weekend, listen for the pause.
Blessed be His name,
Trish
