Rest
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.
And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. (Genesis 2: 1-3, NIV)
JW's thoughts:
To say we live in a fast paced world is an understatement. Most of the time, we meet ourselves coming and going. And technology, that's supposed to make our lives easier, occupies our minds and time all the more. Is that a good thing to be so connected all day, every day?
Sometimes we need to unplug. Sometimes we need to reflect. Sometimes we need to rest. Without rest and renewal we become exhausted, unhealthy--mentally, emotionally, and physically drained.
God knew what he was doing when he rested after his great work. What is rest to you?

Rest for me always occurs on Sunday and includes....well rest. Doing nothing, chatting with family and friends. Rest for me MUST include music though. :D
Have a restful Sunday.

I have a very close relationship with my Jesus, and I never miss church unless I am ill but I did this morning. A person who I am very close to, purposefully has deceived me and I'm dealing with a hurt right now. Teresa, please pray for me because I'm finding a very hard time today just finding my peace.
Praying for guidance

I enjoy resting on Sundays!
Cooking or just sitting down with nothing on my mind than resting.
We all need down time in order to recharge our "batteries"
Have a great day of rest!

Rest for me is the quiet peacefulness of no schedules and no demands...I think.
Yes, our day of rest is not what God intended for us I'm sure. That old Ox fall into the ditch far too often, sometimes with a little push!
God bless ya and have a marvelous Monday!!!
