A Seagull, Solitude and Sabbath

Today I took a walk on the beach…enjoyed the solitude…

Seagull, Solitude & Sabbath

“In a culture where busyness is a fetish and stillness is lazyness, rest is sloth. But without rest, we miss the rest of God: the rest he invites us to enter more fully so that we might know him more deeply. ‘Be still and know that I am God.’ Some knowing is never pursued, only received. And for that, you need to be still.” Mark Buchanan, The Rest of God: Restoring Your Soul by Restoring Sabbath

    @Andy - thanks for visiting! I guess the seagull was enjoying his “alone time” as well ;)
    @Doodah - thank you! It was a wonderful and refreshing time. You encouraged that!
