As I sit in front of my computer after a long day at work, I am torn between writing and relaxing. My head hurts and it feels like my eyes are gonna fall off. I need to rest. Why is it so hard to do that?
Our culture continues to promote the idea of productivity, but what about rest?
We are not missing out when we take time to be still and rest.
I end with this passage…
As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.
