| A Day of Rest |

As I sit blogging this morning the house is quiet, the wind is gently blowing the wind chimes and the antique clock is rhythmically setting the pace for the day. I am reminded of a picture that hangs in my Mom’s living room. I remember this print well. It is an English countryside and in the distance is a beautiful Catherdal church with “folks” dressed in their Sunday “best” strolling in the early morning light of the day on their way to church. Along the way are reminders of the importance of this day in that community. The sheep are resting, the plow stocks are resting, the cattle are grazing.....everywhere you look there is a reminder of this pictures namesake....”A Day of Rest” Today is that day for me. This day was created to allow us time to rest. Cat Stevens sings about it in “Morning Has Broken” as he sings about re-create....it is time for me to rest and re-create. It is my prayer for you today that you can rest and re-create. |
