Just a few
years ago, some were predicting we would soon have more leisure time than we
would know what to do with.
There were a number of good reasons for those
confident predictions.
In the
cities of the world computers were crunching through month long tasks in
fractions of a second. And robots had begun to handle the grueling Jobs of
heavy industry.
But after
the computers have been whirring and automating, we are more out of breath than
ever. People are running out of time these days, above all families are running
out of time; husbands and wives find it hard to schedule quality time with the
kids, much less with each other.
One study in
a small community showed that the average time per day that fathers spend alone
with their very young ones was 37 seconds. This however caused a great concern
to many people and asking how they can slow down the stress in their families
and the world at large.
Dear
friends, Jesus understood the problems of families under stress by giving us a
basis of hope in the book of (Mathew 11:28,29) “come to me all of you who are
weary and burdened, and I will give you rest, learn from me for I am gentle and
humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls”.
