I am a water pitcher & the water is what I pour out to others in all that I do. I am very guilty of not taking time out for myself. As a mom, wife, friend, and any other hat that may fall on my head, I need rest to refill my pitcher. Not when I’m exhausted, but when I’m not exhausted is the time to take to relax & refill my mind, body, and soul. My personal Sabbath. Our souls are beautiful and I am guilty of not taking as much care of mine as I take of daily things that don’t measure up to more than tasks.
- when a cup is almost empty, I refill it
- when my cabinets are almost empty, I refill them
- when my gas tank in your car is empty, I refill it
- when my mind, body, and soul are getting empty… do I refill or push forward on empty? usually push forward
God found it important enough to mention rest in the Bible, and didn’t say to get it if you can fit it in, He made the time and so should I.
I must ask myself – If I am pitcher of water (water = eneryg, what I pour out to others, my heart, etc.) Am I running on empty or making the time to fill up again?
