SHORT VACATIONS<\/strong><\/span>
\nfrom Somebody Loves You by Helen Steiner Rice<\/p>\n

We all need “short vacations”
\nin life’s fast and maddening race
\nAn interlude of quietness
\nfrom the constant, jet age pace….
\nSo, when your day in pressure packed
\nand your hours are all too few,
\nJust close your eyes and Meditate
\nand let GOD talk to you.<\/p>\n

For when we keep on pushing.
\nwe’re not following God’s Way.
\nWe are foolish, selfish robots
\nMechanized to fill each day
\nWith unimportant Trivia
\nthat makes life more complex
\nand gives us greater problems
\nto irritate and vex.<\/p>\n

So when your nervous network,
\nbecomes a tangled mess,
\nJust close your eyes in silent Prayer
\nand ask God to BLESS
\nEach thought that you are thinking,
\nEach decision you must make
\nAs well as every word you speak
\nand every step you take,<\/p>\n

For only by the Grace of God
\ncan we gain self-control
\nand only Meditative thoughts
\ncan restore
\n“PEACE OF SOUL”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have a wonderful day & God Bless<\/p>\n

Norm<\/p>\n
