“My whole life I have been complaining that my work was constantly interrupted, until I discovered that my interruptions were my work.” Nouwen
What is your work? How do you perceive it? How do you view the interruptions?

“Sabbath is being in a waiting, receptive mood in which we pause intentionally and regularly before the giver of all good gifts” Brueggemann
Sabbath is often seen as an exercise for the ‘religious’ – truth is, it is something we should all value. The need to stop, ponder, reflect, wait, rest, hold, stand, pause are all necessary to live life well. Sabbath is a principal that everyone could do well to observe.
