a break from the heat

some days we just need a break from all the pressure.....a break from all the work and routines...we need rest from all the heated things of life that so often burn us out...

we need to find shade and rest....

Today, we are remembering and needing Sabbath.  We are breaking from the norm and observing the better... we are playing, laughing, reading, resting, slowing, obeying...and dancing while we enjoy the music to the tune of Sabbath rest.

A day to listen, and day to observe with restful eyes, a day to enjoy....kick our feet up....and enjoy the breeze...a day to teach little ones that we value play and each other.

We are celebrating and worshipping...learning and asking....crying and growing...we are baking and blessing the little ones in the house with Sabbath delights.

A day of get to's... and I am thankful for the much needed shade from the frantic heat.  My heart, soul, and mind need rest.  I wrestle with the stopping, but I know I need it, and I am thankful for a Daddy that would know my need so well that He not only encourages my rest....He commands it.  Sabbath....a gift I am learning to receive and cherish....
