Remembering to Rest

Exodus 20:8-11 Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work. But the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God; you shall not do any work-- you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the alien resident in your towns. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but rested the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and consecrated it.

Bodhi brings us this reminder that while God created us for work and for recreation, God also created us for rest. Rest is part of God's design for us. Bodhi and I hope that you find some time this week to just rest in God's presence.

peace,

will
