A Time to Rest

1/8/2024

0 Comments

 
​August - traditionally it is a time for holidays and rest: A time between the end of one busy season and the start of the next. A time to play in the sea and build sand castles, walk in the woods and be with family and friends.
 
This time of rest is so important. In this busy world, we seem to rush from one experience to another, forgetting the importance of stillness and being present to the moment. Not just physically, but also mentally and emotionally.
Picture
In scripture it is written, "Be still and know, I am God." Psalm 46:10. In Isaiah 40:31, "but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint."
 
When we rest, our energy levels improve and we access inspiration, creativity and joy. We take time to see the beauty in life around us and reconnect with our loved ones.

Here at Unity Maidenhead we will be taking a rest from our monthly Sunday service and Tuesday evening discussions. However, all our prayer and meditation meetings will continue as they are the most important connection we can make with each other and God as our Source.
 
What are you doing this month to rest and rejuvenate yourself? Comment your ideas and experiences with us below. Perhaps you will inspire another. Have a beautiful, blessed and relaxing month.
