Sabbath.

This is something that I see the need for, yet seem to be too busy to actually put into action. But this past Sunday I was encouraged to take a Sabbath. So needless to say, I took a Sabbath and was enlightened and encouraged to keep this practice up.

My idea of what a Sabbath is:

• taking time to slow down and enjoy the simple joys of life that God has given us
  
• hand writing letters to friends and family and telling them how precious they are
• spending time with a good friend and taking the day to catch up
• inviting friends over and having a 4 hour meal like the good old days

What I chose to do was go on a stroll around Seattle with my friend Monica. We took time to see the beauty of nature that we normally would easily pass over.

I also went to the Statue Park and took in the beautiful scenery and artwork.
There is something absolutely beautiful about trash.

Especially when that trash is used to create something beautiful. When it is taken and recreated from ashes to beauty. Even when it is seen as something ugly it is wonderful to have the eyes that can see the beauty in this. To take the old and see something new. As humanity, we must learn to do this with each other.
