the eighth day

Rest. Play. Reflect. Do whatever feeds your soul.
Take one day a week to remind yourself that you are not a machine.
Rob Bell

Sunday tipped over and spilled all over Monday.
I'm allowing my soul to rest. Join me?

Those are awesome flowers and I so wish I could be home today to sleep instead of working. Sigh.

Am I first? Wow.

I can't rest for two weeks. Then I'll join you through Christmas. My chat on the coach was the most rest I have had..thank you so much! :)

What a delight...being able to rest on the eighth day. Too bad the fridge and pantry need to be stocked and my poor, little apartment is desperately crying to be cleaned. Is it possible to let my soul rest while my body has to be busy? If so, I'll join you in that.

Matthew 11:28 "Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

The source of true rest is from our savior Jesus Christ. I pray that you will find rest in Him today. Let us take solace and rest in Him everyday...not just on Sundays when we're "supposed" to

The Matthew quote is right on. That's how I'm going to have to rest today: by letting Him help carry my burdens. I can't stop today, but i can ask for help.

Amen! Enjoy your rest!

I'm with you! I woke up this morning and did something dreadful to my back! That pretty much wrecked all my plans of cleaning today.

It sounds wonderful - I have too much on my plate right now to allow Sunday to spill over into THIS Monday.

LOVE the idea, though. I'll take a rain check. :)

Does it involve some very dark chocolate? Then okay.

If you call heading over to the B&N Starbucks with my coupon to try a Pumpkin Spice Latte (thanks to Jami for THAT tip!), then my soul rests in the flavah of some imitation pumpkin. It was yummy, Em! You are so wise! I just wished I'd sprung for the bigger cup.

Enjoy your day - however it is that you spend a day soul resting.
