May God also renew your heart and life

I spent last weekend at a Catholic retreat center in Indianapolis to be part of a program that had "Rest and Renewal" in the title! It was good to get away and be still before God. The main meeting room had all glass walls with bird feeders and a view of the surrounding woods. It was neat to watch, and fairly up close, the birds and squirrels working together to get the food. During the program, we looked at some Bible passages and how they can apply to our lives. During Saturday's free time it was nice outside and great to walk the grounds. It's a good idea, I think, to have scheduled time away to renew and rest.
