      The word for this weeks Five Minute Friday is pause. Pause doesn't seem like a significant word just rolling off the tongue. So lets dissect this word for a moment. It is just another word for a brief stop. It isn't an ending or a beginning. It is just the lull in between the hustle and bustle. It may seem like something unimportant but for me, it has such a deeper meaning. I define a pause as time. It is the precious time at the end of the day while I hold my children and admire their sweet little faces. It is the mornings I spend in quiet time with my savior. It is the time I spend reflecting at the end of the day on all the things that have happened. To me a pause is a time to seek and find peace. Being able to pause throughout my days even if only for a few seconds, is such a blessing. I know it is really easy to get lost in the business of life. It is just the type of society we live in. Everyone seems to be more engaged with doing and going rather than appreciating and reflecting. I'm sure we have all caught ourselves feeling completely overwhelmed not realizing that only if we would take a moment to breathe, we would be okay. I would like to encourage you to start trying to recognize the potential  times for pauses you can make everyday and fill those times with things that can bring you a sense of peace. Thanks for joining me for Five Minute Friday. As always, please feel free to start a conversation in the comments and link to your own blog post centered on this series. I look forward to hearing from you.

Prayer: Dear God, thank you so much for the times you have given me to pause in my life. I ask that you would help me to not take the peaceful moments I experience for granted. -Amen
