Acts 2: 42-47
They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship,
to the breaking of the bread and the prayers.
Awe came upon everyone, because many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles.
All who believed were together and had all things in common; the would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need.
Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread together at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God
and having the goodwill of all the people.
As we enter the long weekend and celebrate the beginning of the summer season, we may find ourselves traveling to visit friends and family. I'm looking forward to a weekend volunteering at Lumsden Beach Camp. A place where many youth and leaders are coming together to enjoy fresh air, share stories, pause from everyday routines, and play.
It's a get-away from work, school, technology, and busyness, and a moving toward intentional rest, play, and togetherness. This ritual of coming together in community with people we love, to share in conversation, summer barbeques, is a wonderful way to spend Sabbath time. Sabbath time is best spent with others, as many of us learned during our first 4 months of Sabbath. I invite everyone to invite others to share in Sabbath time and ritual. Be open to what "awe"some things happen when you intentionally explore what Sabbath can mean to you.
I'll leave it at that for now. More later in the week!
Peace and Blessings for the long weekend.
