Thanks to some great participation, our Group Writing Project has seen a number of excellent insights to the idea of Sabbath Rest. It\u2019s not too late for you\u2026see the end of the post for more details.<\/p>\n

Inside Work <\/a>has a fascinating piece on the difference between \u201cintimacy\u201d and \u201cactivity.\u201d And that\u2019s precisely the point of the Sabbath. God isn\u2019t impressed with your busyness. He wants your heart and sometimes, the only way to do that is to rest. Read the great post, The Value of Solitude<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chris Little<\/a> of Weakly Thoughts <\/a>comments that \u201cWe live in a 24\/7 society. However, we were not made to be operating 24\/7 as individuals. Sabbath should be an intentional process<\/em> of stepping back from the things of life\u2026\u201d Read his full comment here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Christina at A Pastor\u2019s Wife to Be<\/a>, said this in her blog post. \u201cI get my sabbath in the simple pleasure of watching my baby play. Letting the dishes go, letting the laundry sit for another hour. Watching the little love my life, growing so fast, and learning so much!\u201d Read her entire post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Michelle commented <\/a>that her best Sabbath was forced upon her \u2014 during a time of unemployment. Her attitude <\/a>is amazing.<\/p>\n
