Blessings of Eastertide to you.
I was thinking of you over the past days of Holy Week and Easter. I hope you have plans for rest and renewal of your spirit in the next few days.
Easter Monday is made for
jokes, and brandy and cigars (if that’s your thing, or if not a little something from the Easter baskets around your house?), and laughter, and naps. I cannot recommend naps highly enough!
In other words, adjust
your energy levels. Take up again the things you laid down for Lent. Or maybe you’ve discovered you don’t want or need them any longer? Perhaps a new spiritual discipline has taken root in your life.
Water
and feed the new practice. Encourage it to grow like resurrection. Your connection to the holy is your sustenance for life and ministry. Rest, meandering, naps, and reading for joy? I hope all of these are beckoning to you this week. Lean into renewal and just breathing. Those are the path to restoring your spirit.
