Give Me A Break

by


No, not the kind of break that gives off that condescending tone. A technical one. I’m unplugging so to speak, from the overcoming need to post, check email, upload, download, facebook, . . . you get the idea.

For at least a week, maybe more. . . I will be around a lot less.

Do you need a break? How would you know?

1. Are you more angry, impatient and temperamental?
2. Are your kids acting out, seeking more of your attention?
3. Are you overwhelmed by life, and feel burdened?
4. Are you thirsty for the simple life?
5. Are you anxious and overcome by your emotions?

Just take a little break. It will be okay. The blogging community will forgive you and get this, survive without you!

What you may like to fill your break doing:

1. Make some to-do-lists and get some long overdue things done around your house (have your kids help you).

2. Read and meditate on scripture more.

3. Exercise your body and drink a lot of water.

4. Clean out some closets and clutter. Throw stuff away that you wouldn’t want to receive as a gift. Give stuff away that you would love to receive, but simply cannot use anymore.

5. Read a good book (the edifying kind).

6. Write a letter to your husband and put it in the mail to him! How fun!

7. Send an encouraging card to a friend that is in need of a good smile.

8. Set aside a bible hour in your home. Watch bible songs, read some verses, and discuss them with your child.

9. Hugs, lots of hugs. Kisses, lots of kisses. Patience, lots of patience. Laughter, lots of laughter.

10. Puzzles, games, toys, crayons, blankets, balls, dancing, somersaults, talent shows, chasing, hide and go seek, and cuddle time.

So, what do you think? Are you in need of a technical break?

  1. Great points! I haven’t taken a break, but I have cut back. I’ve become a lot more intentional of sitting down with the kids and hubby in the family room.

  3. This is what I have done for the past couple days…. You deserve it! TAKE A BREAK! 🙂 I love the 1st song that comes to your blog… it gives me such peace… it is just such a peaceful song… LOVE IT!

  6. I have had such a busy week preparing for the new bible study I am leading, a big stomach bug went through my whole house right before that…. it’s just been very busy.

    Anything that gets in the way of my relationship with the Lord, or what He is calling me to do has to go. It’s Him, hubby, kiddos & everything else has to be in an order that is pleasing to the Lord. He does not want us obsessing over tech world & when I feel the conviction that it’s gotten too much of my attention & too addicted to my Iphone & gadgets, I lay it down! And it feels great! Enjoy your break!

  7. NEVER a BAD idea! I often just HAVE to take a break…I don’t really WANT to but then it is SUCH A RELIEF when I do!!!
    Hope you have some excellent quality time AWAY!

  8. I like your “what to do” ideas. Sometimes, I do have to take a break from blogging. It helps keep me from feeling blogger burnout.

    Enjoy yours!
