We just got back from a very fun and relaxing vaca as a family. It was not a long one...but it sure did "do the job".
Just a few questions to ask yourself...What do you go on vacation for? Why do you like it? Why do you need it? What do you hope to get out of it?
We go for one reason here in this house and that is to get away from daily life as a family and do things together...no other responsibilities...no important meetings...no important phone calls. Well, maybe a birthday wish here or there (JV ~ love ya sis) or an anniversary greeting (DS & RS ~ 1 year yeah!!). But mainly time away together...just "being".
There are places we want to go to and explore as a family...parts of this great country of ours to see "live with our own eyes" but we are unable to at this time with ones so little...but we hope to someday not too far in the future. Where we were able to go and what we did were so much fun for this little family and we are extremely grateful.There were years when we were unable to get away for a vacation and so we made the most out of our weekends and days off were treated like mini vacations.
There are scriptures that use the word Selah in them and many scholars have many different meanings for this word as there is no "concrete definition" for it. One that I like to use is given by many as meaning to take a pause and weigh the words spoken to you and measure them by what you know to be true.
Vacation is also like a Selah in life for us. Our daily life is paused and my hubby and I take long walks to ponder what has happened so far and seek the Lord for where to go next and what to do.
I pray that this is and was a summer that did the job for you...whatever you and your family needed...I pray you were able to have...I pray that you were richly blessed this summer in Jesus...no matter the length of a vacation or a day off...I pray you took or take the time to Selah and then praise your God for all His love and what He has done for you.
He loves you so much sistas & so do I ~ Laurie Kay
