We have Confirmation at our parish tonight and my husband will be there so I will be there. It will be a long day for me. No problem - I feel blessed to be able to go to Confirmation. But I know there is a potential problem for fatigue and stress and that yearning for home I always get as the day winds down to 5:00 pm.
So I got up early and I prayed. And I have taken short little moments throughout the day to pray. It is now 2 pm and I feel centered and at peace. I had what you might call a Sabbath moment.
Wish I had thought up that term - Sabbath Moment - but I didn’t. I found it on Terry Hershey’s website. He has a weekly newsletter he sends out called Sabbath Moment. I have enjoyed a couple of his books so I was curious to find out what his newsletter is like. You might like it. He writes about living in the present moment and slowing down and learning to just BE with the Lord. I like to write about the same thing here in my blog and in my newsletter, Prayerful Morsels.
So I like the idea of taking Sabbath moments. Those moments when we stop what we are doing and just sit still and hang out with Jesus. Moments of rest and prayer and silence.
So why not try it? Take some Sabbath moments today.
