The hubby and I
decided this year that we would be a lot more intentional about our day of
rest. We have designated Sunday to be a day of family, rest, relaxation and rejuvenation.
Now, we aren't too
strict about this; I made dinner last night. Still, it is such a great time for
Greg and I to catch up on life. To spend time with our little one. To just be
together.
I highly recommend
it. Rest is such a good thing for our hearts, bodies and souls. Rest reminds me
what I am working for every day. It is
in rest that most of my new ideas come from. Most importantly, it is in those
quiet moments that God speaks to our hearts.
Do you have a day of rest during your week?
If not, I highly recommend you just try it. For one month, try doing a day of
rest every week and see if it changes you.
My first two years of college, I never had a day of rest! I was in class Monday-Friday and worked on Saturday & Sunday. This year, I decided to squeeze work into the week, giving me the weekend to rest. Although doing homework isn't as peaceful as I'd like it to be, I'm able to go at my own pace.
ReplyDeleteI am intentionally trying to do that but this Sunday I had to play catch up as I took an art course all day Saturday. But I still managed to walk twice, go to the pool, read a chapter of my book - so it was a day of REST.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you,

PS Just love the picture of your little one.
We do this also! Since Hubbie isnt here its alot on me, because the kiddies are in the house and you know being kids.. so I do let them go outside and get some air but then when they come back in we watch a disney movie and have popcorn!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a sabbath day and would really like to incorporate one into our week. We're not there yet.
ReplyDeleteRest days with the whole family are the best. :)
