You want to rest when?

Greetings my fellow sojourners. It has been a couple of weeks. The activity along the path has heightened and I am yearning for rest. Maybe this weekend. Why is it that we find it difficult to take a sabbath rest? What is so urgent that it must always be done now? I live too much this way. As I type I am looking out the window anticipating today's snow flurries wondering where did this year go? I am past much of the cancer worry. The doctor has told me no radiation at this time which I praise my Lord for. He responded favorably to all of your prayers. Yet I feel such a loss of time. Where did the summer go?

I think this rapid pace of life that we live along the path is wearing us out and down. Yet when we are required to wait we appear almost inept in handling it. We don't like it and when we get it we are quick to seek the activity again. I envy those who find rest easy. Today my son and his wife are on their second day of waiting for the birth of their adoptive son and have been told you will have a third day coming as the induction will not happen today. I know the platitude about God's timing (which is wonderfully true) but when your heart is full of anticipation and some anxiety it does not bring much comfort. Please pray for them and for Myer their soon to arrive son.

I guess we must all learn to wait, rest, find peace, and trust God. I thought I had a day to work in solitude but have remembered two meetings that I must attend this afternoon. OK I thought about rest. Does that count?

See you on down the path, after a break I hope.
