| A great find oen year at Holden Beach. |
Holden Beach is one of my favorite places for Sabbath. All 19 members of my family share a big house
for a week each summer. We eat, we tell
stories, we laugh, and we spend ALL day on the beach. It nourishes my soul to be with family, to
hear the waves crashing, and to feel the sand between my toes.

Another favorite place for Sabbath is my parent’s house in
Cullowhee. I love sitting in a rocking
chair on their sun porch watching the fog rise from the valley below. This is my favorite time of the year to go
home because the mountains are vibrant colors of red, yellow, and orange. The mountains nourish my soul.
My covenant group is another soul nourishing place in my
life. I gather monthly with these women
to share the joys and struggles of ministry and motherhood. We laugh, we cry, we talk, we listen, and we
serve as Sabbath for each other. Another
Sabbath moment for me is playing dress-up, having a dance party, or swinging
outside with my 3 girls. Their laugher
and smiles nourish my soul.
These soul nourishing, moments of REST renew me for
service in God’s world. Sabbath is part
of the natural rhythm of life in order that humanity can move about our days
fully present and fully alive to God’s purpose for life.
