[sabbath]

When I stopped to take in the reality that I am loved just because I exist – I found out how much of my efforts were about earning something I already have.

Sabbath is taking a day a week to remind myself that I did not make the world and it will continue to exist without my efforts

Sabbath is a day when my work is done even if it isn’t

Sabbath is a day when my job is to enjoy period

Sabbath is a day when I am fully available to myself and the people I love the most

Sabbath is a day when I remember that when God made the world he saw that it was good

Sabbath is a day when I produce nothing

Sabbath is a day when I remind myself that I am not a machine

Sabbath is a day when at the end of the day I say “ I didn’t do anything today – and I don’t follow that with “ I feel so guilty”

A day when my phone is turned off, I don’t check my email – and you cant get a hold of me

Sabbath gives humanity the energy it needs to exist for another week

"the energy it needs to exist for another week"

Sanctuary used to be this source of energy for me. And I can only thank you for that wonderful year.

Lots of love.
