Apprentice 2 Jesus

It is so blatantly obvious we all need to slow down. It is also blatantly obvious we have no clue how to accomplish that task.

Last week we decided to get a real Christmas tree for the first time in our marriage. It was the best decision of this Christmas season. It is a beautiful balsam fir that stand over 6 feet.

Two nights this week my wife and I have turned off all the lights and allowed the Christmas tree lights to illuminate the living room. The boys were off in bed, so we sat almost in silence enjoying something. While it was so incredibly relaxing, it is also frustrating. We can always think of something else we should be DOING while we are “wasting” our time staring at a tree.

The rat race is infuriating!
