"Consider"

As evening drops its curtain and changes the look and feel of earth, thoughts turned inward seem to be more carefully considered. It is the softening of the night, the slowing of activities for many that changes the environment and allows for more considerate time. We rush, rush, rush and at times it goes on and on from day to evening, to day to evening. A quiet time is not mandated nor is it often sought, yet, it is important that a few minutes be set aside in the mind, in the body, and in the spirit. Clocks continue round the clock but the human body, though it continues to perform, must have time to rest and recuperate from the stresses of the day. It is the thinking time, the thankful time, the awareness time that may be missing from the daytime for various reasons. Stillness makes some people uncomfortable. They become nervous and ill at ease. Their inner timing is not at its regular speed and therefore, the body reacts. This can pass with a few moments if a person is willing to stay on the course of attention. Consider each day, consider self, consider actions and consider God.
