The passing winter mourned,
as busyness begins.
Remember friend,
dispute the sun
over rushing never wins.
Still, need for peace.
Yet thirst for rest.
Take the day God gifted you.
He knows what man needs best.

I find myself pressing in to the simple things of life. Constantly reminded that my spirit has been calling for quiet for years, and now that I have it, it shouldn’t be abandoned. I never imagined God would use a pandemic to gift me rest. Despite the pain of isolation, he has helped me flourish in the last twelve months. I write this as my reminder to not forget.

Great! I think we all need to start doing a better job at keeping the Sabbath. Maybe not by strict observance, but I think it’s a mistake to assume that we don’t need it anymore. If anything we need it more than ever with how busy and distracting life has gotten.

I will agree with you. We have lost the ability to just be present with ourselves, each other, and God. That is what the Sabbath was for, as well as giving people a rest from labor.
