We are made for more.
More than work, worry, & doing.
We are made for the Sabbath.
To be present with the divine spirit of hope, truth, & love.
Just as the creating One rested,
we too rest.
We too must rejuvenate and reboot.
Trust enough to let go.
To let go of control,
to let go of anxiety,
and the way of the world.
Be present. Be with. Be still.
Amen.
