have a mind so quiet,
that you can hear doves whispering
as they rest their wings
in the rafters your silent sanctuary (Kate Mullane Robertson)
Thinking about the musings from Day 139: The Holy Bible And Hydrology – Genesis To Job.…
I would submit to you that it is important to take some rest.
I would submit to you, that if you have not already done so, start today to rest…and relax…and reflect. I would submit to you to perhaps begin the process to:
“Take Sunday’s off, it’s a God thing.”
The more I think about it, I don’t really know if it is really just a ‘God thing’. I mean, don’t animals, insects, birds, plants, the rest of Mother Nature and even Atheists, believe in the importance of rest? Whether they think it’s a ‘God thing’ or not, rest is necessary for all of us on this Earth, to restore, and to rejuvenate, our hearts, minds, bodies and souls. I think, most importantly, because Monday’s can be brutal, on a good Monday….
Bottom line no matter where you stand on the issue of God…get some rest.
Spend some time if you want to do some reviewing, reflecting, and/or meditating, on the week that has just ended. To be mindful perhaps of the from last week:

Are you ready to get some rest?
Do not feel discouraged if you don’t know how to rest. Do not feel discouraged if you power down your mind and body that wishes to forge ahead, so many things to do, so little time. Instead, embrace the idea that rest is rejuvenating. Embrace the idea that rest restores and recharges. 10-15 minutes. Do nothing regarding the upcoming workweek…for 10-15 minutes. Then, 7 days later, extent your rest time out 5 minutes. Deep breathing exercises. Simple yoga poses. Watching cute little puppies on your social media feed. All unrelated to work and your job(s). Something, some things, to clear your mind.
6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest. (Psalms 55:6 KJV)
Was today’s blog a little confusing at times? Was the content perhaps a little overwhelming? Did you feel lost not understanding some or most of the subject matter?
Those feelings are totally understandable and it is ok to have one or more of those feelings. Remember that you are reading Day 140: Rest…Relax…Reflect.
If you haven’t been in class since the first day of school…or when the project began…or when the contract was first signed, etc., these feelings make perfect and logistical sense.
Please feel free to go back to where all of this began:
Perfect! Once again your timing on topics coincides with what I need to hear. Thank you! Wishing you the best.
