Cleansing Refreshing Renewal

How do you renew? It’s a question of what you do to release the tension you are carrying and invigorate you soul. Is it a run in the rain, which cleanses deep into your very spirit as the surface of the world around you is washed clean as well? Is it the sweat of vigorous exercise, which we give into as we learn that the harder we work, the better we feel and the more we put in, the more we get out. We can be refreshed and renewed by a variety of things as we let the world inspire us. Maybe we meditate, maybe we read, maybe we go on retreat, maybe we vegetate in front of the TV, maybe it's a night with friends, maybe it's playing with our kids, maybe it's just letting ourselves laugh and laugh, maybe it's prayer and life. There are plenty of maybe's and there is a lot to be said for devotion and what an act of devotion can do for the soul if we let ourselves be intentional about how we relate to that intention. God offers us a constant chance for renewal if we are willing to take it. How will you be renewed? How will you let God work on you?
