We praise God not only when we work. We praise Him also when in great faith and love, we receive all His blessings and rest.
The apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and they told him all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught. He said to them, “You come apart into a deserted place, and rest awhile.” For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. – Mark 6, WEBBE
Sometimes, the most productive thing to do is what seems to be the least productive. Instead of running, it is resting. Instead of pushing yourself beyond your limits, it is taking good care of yourself.
It is taking the time to breathe, to play and to be young again. It is receiving all the blessings meant to be showered upon you. It is laughing and watching the world go by. It is being with the people who matters most to you.
We are not always being called upon to give. At times, all that is needed of us is to receive all the good things God has long wanted to bestow upon us.
