I took this picture, one Sunrise in Cowichan Bay, on Vancouver Island. I wish every day could start this way; peacefully with cup of tea on the balcony of a restful hotel, enjoying the view. But,the quote reflects my life and is more realistic. Sometimes even when I want to quieten my soul, it's a struggle. To find that place at the feet of Jesus, like Mary, rather than banging around in the kitchen, like Martha requires that we cherish the moment. Living a reflective life, I've found, takes a concentrated effort to slow down, to value times of Bible reading and prayer, and to be committed to putting God first, each and every day. I fail often, but each day is a new day to begin again.
