Sailboats, Tomatos, and long walks
Lately, I've been contemplating what Sabbath means exactly. To be more accurate, what is REST? I hear people talk about rest a lot but I feel that I have had time to rest and still feel not refreshed. So one thing I've discovered is rest is sometimes but not always void of activity, but rest in the sense of Sabbath is sanctified time or time with a purpose. That purpose is to hear from the Lord.
So, I've spent some time hearing from the Lord while appreciating the sailboats on the Willamette River, picking and eating the best, orange tomatoes from my friend's garden, and on some breezy walks in various neighborhoods around Portland. Meeting, hearing, and seeing God.... ahh... rest!
