Rest stop

Around the twisties of Ortega Highway...through the backroads of the San Diego countryside, down the freeway to the city...Team aHbe Racer rode and rode.  Half a day's worth of riding...enjoying each other's company, soaking up the sun's rays, relishing the soft breeze.  They hardly felt that they were getting tired.  As the day wore on though, the fatigue slowly set in:  Abe's hands on the throttle began cramping up, Sammy's back began feeling stiff, and Rowe's bottom was getting numb.  With Abe leading the Team, he recognized everyone's exhaustion.  As if on cue, he switches his right signal light on, indicating the riders are exiting the freeway. 



After a brief interlude at the rest stop, a cool beverage, and some stretching, Team aHbe Racer hops back on their bikes.  Rejuvenated.  With newfound strength, they race back up the freeway, through the backroads and around more twisties.  Riding until the sun sets...

We all need to momentarily exit the "freeway" and pull into a "rest stop".  To do nothing.  Just rest.  Leave behind our chaotic schedules and anxious thoughts.  Time out.  A breatherResting with Him so the wheels keep on spinning...
