"One
thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the
house of
the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek
him in his temple." Psalm 27:4 (NIV)

Suggestions
o
STOP!
Don’t
try to “get things done”. You’ll
never get everything done. Your life
isn’t about getting things done. It’s
about God.
o
Begin
your Sabbath at
6:00 pm Saturday with dinner, lighting of candles or some other “marker”
that Sabbath has begun. Choose
to rest from something for the next 24 hours.
o
Choose
a rest
from something the consumes you the other six days of the week:
Possibilities include electronics, TV, Phone, Texting, Email, the radio,
Ipad, Facebook, Instagram. Those
things make you tired and sap your energy. Ever
notice that when you watch TV as an escape that it doesn’t replenish you?
o
Create
fun for others in your family. Sometimes
the best thing we can do is build relationships in a way that replenishes
others. Doing so is life
giving. If you are a parent
who hates board games, play some with your kids.
o
Lectio
Divina.
This is Latin for sacred reading.
It’s the practice of reading scripture slowly and reflectively, chewing
on it to ingest all the nutrients it has to offer.
Ask God what he wants to show you about yourself or about the world
he’s placed you in.
The
main thing is do something so that you can reset your life, have the time
necessary for God to remind you why you’re here, what your purpose it and how
loved you are.
I’m
praying for you. In Christ,
Jeff
