No time to run today -- I worked 14 hours. We had some of the ministry team leaders from our Connection's Team over tonight. We are blessed to serve with such a dedicated and gifted group of leaders! Not only on this team, but all the the teams.
Benjamin enjoyed playing with one of the girls. He was a police officer and she was a magician. He tried to arrest her for putting a spell on a police officer. She put another spell on him so he couldn't arrest her. As you can tell they made up at the end of the night.
Rest in life is essential. Sleep is rest. So is laughter with friends. Watching a baby laugh is rest. So is reading a good book. Rest comes in lots of different forms. Our bodies need rest. So do our minds and our souls.
The rest that really matters is nothing we can do or earn. It is a gift from God. “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28) Did you catch that? God gives rest to us. It's free.
Since I didn't get to run today, I can run long tomorrow. Running on fresh legs is one of the great joys of life. Being rested beats being tired.
