It's called walking it out...and no, I'm sorry to say, it does not include any crazy dance moves.
It does, however, include sweet strolls around our apartment complex...whenever we feel like it. (2x yesterday...1x last week...1x this morning...)
We've been discussing how we want to rest and connect through out our hectic weeks--and well, walking was a great (un-spoken) conclusion we came to: we are alone, outside, without any techy (or other) distractions--and are able to talk while burning a few calories... me gusta.
Our apartment complex is not very communal--and we wonder what people think when they see us bundled up in our coordinating sweatpants and sweatshirts strolling as if we have nothing better to do (which we don't, by the way)...it's a conundrum yet to be figured. But it has proven that these walks help us be more neighborly---you can't say hi if you're never outside your place, you know?
Our pastor preached on keeping the Sabbath yesterday---and really challenged us to find ways to honor that commandment (meaning one of the 10 commandments...) It's interesting--because we do not hold fast to a command that actually encourages us to rest--slow down---smell the roses---enjoy life!
So Red and I are working out how we can celebrate the Sabbath each week...because of his work we are unable to set aside a full day---but we've come up with a good schedule...We plan on taking full advantage of resting and enjoying life--this way we will be worth more within all of those stressful responsibility filled realms of life that you can never escape.
How do you sabbath, or rest, recharge, prepare for the week, connect with the Lord?
