I fuss and fret over reduced daylight hours, when my level of activity is curtailed by the late rising of the sun and its early setting.
The Preacher gently admonishes me with a reminder that: “for everything there is a season; a time for every matter under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1).
I find comfort in the certainty of the cycle of the seasons, as balmy autumn days give way to winter, when the earth rests. My spirit can find respite from the ceaseless search for fulfilment and success.
Prayer
Creator God, I gratefully accept your gift of this Sabbatical, to rest and restore my weary soul. In your name, amen.
