Are you running low?
Finding energy is scarce?
Go to your refuel.
Where’s your refuel place?
Is it visiting a friend?
I did that today.
Took time to converse
With a compassionate soul.
Did a world of good!

“Refuel” is a place
On the web by Bayside Church.
It’s one place to fuel.
Refuel by blogging.
Refuel by singing a song.
Refuel by walking.
It’s necessary;
Self-care’s a priority
Not a luxury.
If you’re out of gas,
You can’t help others or YOU.
STOP, rest, breathe and PRAY.
Let God fill you up
With His compassionate love.
It’s better than gas!

I love your wisdom, especially as I feel I need to refuel.
Thank you. I think this is the season when we could all use a bit of refueling. You’re not alone.
Gosh, this was SO GOOD and very timely. I tend to deplete myself but have learned the importance of filling up – especially through quiet time with the Lord. Thanks for this excellent post🙏🏻🎄.
God bless you. May your tank be filled and your spirit sparkle this season and into 2020.
Jan, thank you for reminding me to fuel up. There are so many ways to raise ourselves up when we are feeling low. God’s peace!
Yes there are. What’s your favorite refueling method?
Exercise is a big one, whether walking or pedaling my indoor bike. Walking clears my mind, and biking pumps up the ancient athlete which still hungers for a challenge. But biggest of all, spending time with God’s Word fuels my soul.
I need to take a clue from you, Richard. I have a recumbent bike in the guest room downstairs. I need to go and use it!! But, like you, God’s Word is my first refueling station each morning. Thanks for sharing your ideas. Have a Happy Thursday!
