"Restoring"

The busyness of life can feel stifling—

never-ending to-do lists, places to be, people to see.

Yet when you allow yourself time—

time to pause,

time to take a deep breath,

time to rest your mind and body,

time to simply be—

it’s not just wanted: it’s needed.

It’s not a waste of time—it’s time well spent.

It’s not laziness—it’s wellness.

This is restoring.

Embedded verse: “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7

Inspired by Genesis 1:25, "So god made the wildlife of the earth according to their kinds..."

Varnished for protection and ready to hang.
