SABBATH – TOUCHED BY GOD

Antonym of stress-filled schedules

       Sabbath interrupts

       Re-creating present and past

       Future possibilities

       imagery of the Divine

Droplets falling out of summer thunderstorms

       Joining water flowing ever onward

       Skipping over exposed memories of times long past

       Filling the void on the way to the sea

       Trickle to crescendo

       Taking stresses beyond the danger zones

       To calm waters flowing, curving, cutting new paths.

Chirping sounds, rushing water, musical notes, Word proclaimed

       Sabbath whispers to our souls

       “Be still”

       “Be still and know”

       “Be still and know that I am God”

       “Be still”

Morning yellow light illuminating forest floors

Evening golden light bidding quiet rest

       Holy Presence

       Holy Nourisher

       Holy Protector

Restlessness finding rest

Sabbath taking – Holy finding
