Good Day Cherished Internet Traveler.

Thank you for stopping at our wayside rest area today.

We are beginning a new chapter with our online presence. It is a most welcome opportunity to bring God's Word to the internet community.

A Little Definition Please!

Here, at My Thoughtful Place Ministry, we find it relevant to include, upon occasion, definitions of words and phraseology that are used to help understand our choice in words while sharing a message.

Today, we look at the definition of Rest Areas:

Rest Area

A rest area is a public facility, located off the side of a large thoroughfare such as a motorway, expressway, or highway, that allows drivers and passengers to rest, eat, or refuel without exiting onto secondary roads. They often feature restroom facilities, picnic areas, scenic areas or scenic overlooks, lighted walkways, maps, security cameras, parking for recreational vehicles, and commercial trucks, among other services.

The most basic service areas, known as lay-bys, have no facilities: they consist solely of a paved shoulder on the side of the highway where drivers can rest, look at their maps or nearby scenery, or use mobile phones. Truck drivers often park in lay-bys to take mandatory breaks.

You may have a memory of stopping at a rest area at some point in your life's journey while traveling via automobile on vacation.

Why Are We Using The Rest Area As An Example?

In order to enhance (auto)traveler safety and comfort, the local DOT (Department of Transportation) maintains a system of rest areas on highways throughout any state, providence, or country in the world. The DOT makes sure these rest areas are kept clean, safe, and updated with travel-related amenities to enhance the travel experience for residents and visitors.

Just as a highway rest area is designed as a place for weary travelers to stop, rest, and regroup. This blog was created with the similar idea to provide internet surfers, searching for a deeper, personal relationship with Jesus, a place for renewing and refreshing.

It is a resource for Bible study, excerpts from daily devotionals, and journal pages. A daily Scripture reading plan is provided, just suggestions if you are not sure where to start.

Enjoy reading praise and worship essays, stories, while sipping lemonade with Jesus.

LITTLE DISCLAIMER

Please note, included in some of the posted publications are links to other websites. Also there are links posted within this blog to other sites. 

My Thoughtful Place Ministry cannot control items on other sites, and we may not always agree theologically with certain items that may be found. 

Please be careful with any information that you discover. As always, remember, the Word of God in the Bible is the ultimate authority in all aspects of our lives.

We seek the Lord's guidance and wisdom in posting of the articles, stories, and testimonies on this blog.

So, my dear cherished neighbor, as you read, don't just take our word (or anyone's). Be sure to take the time you need to read the Bible; do your homework. Discover His word for yourself; asking Him to reveal His plan and purpose made just for you.
