Refreshment

The temperature is over 100 degrees outside, and the pavement and sidewalks are blistering hot. Heat radiates from the automobiles surrounding, and the sweltering weather can exhaust the most healthy. Then, suddenly, like an oasis in the desert, a place of refuge appears, a cold drink is just ahead, and the destination is within moments away. Air conditioning, cold smoothies, soothing showers, and a place to rest one's weary soul during the middle of the workday arises and now refreshment is finally known.



Is there a place like this anywhere? Is there a destination where one can find refuge and restoration in the middle of the city? If there was such refreshment offered would people actually enjoy a break in the middle of the day?



Picture this: It's the middle of the day, and the office has been and will be a grind. The heat is on as usual, and the deadlines are impossible. The mind is overwhelmed with details, and the expectations are beyond anyone's possibilities. Because the pressure is so high, the spirit continually looks for an outlet to relieve itself like a tea kettle that has the burner turned to high. There must be relief. There must be refreshment, or it's gonna blow.



Refreshment is coming, and when it does, recreation will be found, and inspiration will follow. Look for the refreshment, and feel renewed again. Look for the refreshment. It's closer than you think. Look for the refreshment, and find the rest of soul again.



Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
