I recently took off time for my daughter’s Spring Break to spend time together as a family and to get some rest.  Some of us don’t realize we need to be refreshed until it’s nearly too late. 

It’s always been amazing to me that Jesus took time to get away even though He was the Son of God.  He even taught the disciples to come apart from the crowds and have time alone. 

What do you do to be refreshed?  When’s the last time you came home, turned on the stereo to some soft music and just relaxed?  Or, do you keep your schedule jam packed and never seem to have a free moment?  If you’re answer is, “But, I just don’t have time for that!”  Then my response is, you must think you’re greater than Jesus who took time to get away and have time alone.   

If you don’t “come apart” – you will eventually.  Take it from someone who works hard every day – you’ve got to also play hard.  Don’t let your time of rest be in the hospital because you didn’t follow Jesus’ example.
