Pastor's Ponderings
February 2025
A SABBATH OF JOYOUS RESILIENCE
“The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.” ―William James
“It’s not stress that kills us, it’s our reaction to it.” ―Hans Selye
“The time to relax is when you don’t have time for it.” ―Sydney J. Harris
Sabbath, whether a day or a moment, builds resilience and renewal when we do what delights us in accompaniment with God. Consider these categories of Sabbath Resilience:1. REST: Find ways to rest and restore you body and soul: mindfulness practices of presence in the moment and being held by the compassionate presence of God.2. BEAUTY: Where can you go to experience the feeling of awe in beauty; a walk in nature, looking at photos or art, listening to music, a visualization meditation. 3. PLEASURE: Wonder; ‘what would please me in this moment?” What would delight my senses and/or my soul in the gifts of God?”4. PLAY: God has created you to be creative. What are your ways to let the creative spirit express itself within and through you?5. APPRECIATION: Gratitude is a powerful way to shift our spirits. It taps into joy by noticing, naming and savoring the things for which you are thankful. It doesn’t have to be something big. Give Thanks. Each of these are enhanced when they are shared in connections with others as well as God. As you become more intentional about creating Sabbath days and times seek to find ways to bring something from each of these categories into your life.
