A few months ago, I read An Altar in the World by Barbara Brown Taylor. Her concluding remarks on Sabbath rest are so beautiful that I wanted to share them here - to remind MYSELF, and all other hard-working independent women (and men) that it's all a gift - so be thankful!
Here's what she writes:
When you live in God, your day begins when you open your eyes, though you have done nothing yourself to open them, and you take your first breath, though there is no reason why this life-giving breeze should be given to you and not to some other. In the dark or in the light... your day begins when you let God hold you because you do not have the slightest idea how to hold yourself - when you let God raise you up, when you consent to rest to show you get the point, since that is the last thing you would do if you were running the show yourself. When you live in God, your day begins when you lose yourself long enough for God to find you, and when God finds you, you lose yourself again in praise.
