When you have been on your feet all day, walking or running from one event to the next, finding a bench to sit on can be the best gift for your tired toes. It’s almost as if whoever placed the bench in its particular spot knew exactly where to put it so you could relax before moving on. It is like when someone comes into your life at just the right moment and you can’t help but wonder if it’s meant to be.

Maybe God is sending you a “bench” to support you as you grow tired and weary. Where are your benches? Who has come into your life when you are tired and need a time out? Are you a bench for someone else?

Next time you are in the park enjoy a rest on a bench and consider who has helped give you a rest along the way.
