Amazing Day #15: Rest

Rest
A day of rest
No work
No shoulds
No obligations

...

Began this habit during my church days
But back then it was hardly a day of rest.
Usually it was a day of ministry.
Lots of work
Lots of obligation
Lots of shoulds
Lots of stress

Funny how that worked
The idea of Sabbath
A time of rest

But too often it became a time of rules
Things we couldn’t do on Sunday.
Things that we must do on Sunday


But now it feels like I’m finally figuring it out.
Hopefully getting it right

A time of rest
Refreshment
Nourishment
Renewal

No work
No shoulds
No rules
No obligations

Sabbath rest

Amazing.
