May I Help You? U Look A Little Frazzled!!!!

"The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest." -Mark 6:30/31

MAY is busy. MAY is crazy. MAY is hectic. MAY I help you? You look a little frazzled! You're coming and going with school, sports, work or any of another 100 things on the ticket. You're not alone, even the apostles were being driven to work harder and harder. They were tired (sound familiar?). They were hungry (sound familiar?). Jesus simply tells them an obvious truth (again). Let's go and grab something to eat take a break. Duh! But they could be healing the sick, preaching about God, serving others somehow!!! We can imagine them screaming, "How can we possibly take a break?!!" Jesus would have merely told them to follow Him, trust Him, and they would.

Jesus is right (duh!). If you are feeling tired and hungry you need to rest and eat! Sounds simple but doing is not always an easy thing. Are you doing too much? Probably... if you are like most American teens or adults. Of course if you are reading this then you are most likely already following Jesus' command for rest. So your task is even more important... pass the advice on. Invite a friend to your house for a break. Go out for ice cream. Take a walk. We all have to rest and get nourishment. Spiritually, emotionally and physically. Go ahead, take a break.
