We've all discovered how refreshed we are after a vacation, or even a day of "doing nothing." We find new energy to tackle the things that we didn't ever think we'd get done. We just had no energy. Well, with the weekend upon us, and Labor Day looming in the not too distant future, it's time, if we haven't done so already, to slow down, (even stop) and rest. Otherwise we'll keep plodding along pushing ourselves and doing "tired work", work that drags us down and whose results are far from satisfying. If we rest, allowing ourselves to look at the flowers we've been working so hard to grow, watch the morning star rise before dawn peacefully, slowly against a dark blue sky, reflect on the people who fill our lives with joy, and allow God to fill our souls with his love and life, then we'll be renewed in mind, soul and body and "glad work." will follow. The weather forecasters promise a string of summer weather, perfect for the rest we need. Let's take advantage of it.
