God Bless the Fall
Working back at full speed has given me a jolt. Sept is no time to rest in ministry. I long for the peace of the summer nights.
I know a few things, the leaves will turn colour soon, some one will mention something about sweater weather and hockey is back!
I know it isn’t deeply spiritual but for me watching Hockey is a reprieve from the cooling atmosphere. The fall is a rush, a movement, a real whirl-wind but watching a game you can push everything else out. Football is alright as well but I find myself drifting to other things between the plays.
All this to say is do you have time to rest. I have committed to several types of rest. Godly Rest: Focused time of worship, prayer and devotion. Personal Rest: Time to myself to breathe and just be. Couples Rest: Connecting, talking and being there for each other. Family Rest: Also known as lying on the carpet and getting climbed on and singing, growling and playing. Friendship Rest: Hanging out, just being me with a friend who is just being him. Work Rest: Taking the time at work to know I can detach, that I am separate and then I dive back in.
Take time to rest with all the important things in your life. God bless the fall and take the time to enjoy his miracle of this season.
Grace and Peace
