1. morning glory
reflective moments
night fades before sun’s splendor
beauty inspires praise
2. day of rest
focus on His word
quiet the soul’s restlessness
renewed by worship
3. fellowship
brothers and sisters
gracious hospitality
share meal together
4. re-creation
wander out of doors
breathe deeply natural scene
rejuvenate mind
5. two or three
humbly bow our hearts
Spirit hears groans of prayers
power is unleashed
6. full circle
meditative mood
full moonrise illumines sky
resting in God’s grace
7. benediction
taking sabbath rest
pause from world’s distracting pace
regeneration

“re-creation” — Love that! Never thought of “recreation” this way, but so true and so needed. Thank you for sharing. 🙂

This is such a perfect Sabbath description, lynndiane. I like the idea of creating a bit of Sabbath every day. We need it. It teaches us to trust in God, not have to be self-sufficient every moment.

Yes, we do need it! Thanks for commenting, Victoria.

We definitely do need to take those times of reflection and prayer ….. out of the busyness of life… Very beautifully written… Diane
