Hey everyone,
Here is the 2nd part of our series Mastering the Art of Living, Enjoy!
We live in a world that is so fast paced. We have fast food, Minute Rice, 59 Second Rice, instant messaging, Gogurt (yogurt for people on the go), etc. Technology allows us to get a ton of stuff done in a short amount of time, but it has huge ramifications on being fully present in life.
So many of us are cram our food down our mouth and then we are off to do what ever it is we need to do. However, in Jesus' time it was custom to sit down for a 3 hour meal. 3 HOURS! Now you might be saying to yourself, well I got stuff to do (Like Jesus didn't?), or I am trying to change the world here (Um, like Jesus wasn't?). These meals were a time when something holy was taking place, relationships were being built.
So as we go forth this next week, working on slowing down, look around you instead of whats ahead. Then focus on building relationships with people. After all, God created us for relationship with Him, so building relationships is embedded in our DNA.
