Still - United Yet Separate
Gathering Storm
Training is an individual effort, only you can learn your body. Only you know how hard to push or how long to keep with it.
We are still better as a couple than we were as individuals. I realize my Nancy has always been God’s gift to me. This week it all ran together my ongoing effort to still my mind and listen, my near daily focus on the elliptical where I again still my mind, and the song I sang with the group in both services last Sunday. Of course the reminder from Nancy you are still writing a lesson for Saturday night, aren’t you, did focus my attention on writing a reflection. So on Friday at the gym, the lesson and the song became all mixed together like a stew. In the song Still by Reubem Morgan this is how the lyric speaks to me. First by being still myself, where I can find God still with me, and with God I can be still during life’s storms.
Practicing stillness often means scheduling individual time, although in marriage encounter we are cautioned about not being married singles. How do you feel about intentionally scheduling alone time for each of you every week? How could this benefit you as individuals and your relationship?
