Reflection Questions

The day stretches before me. Last night, with Kay at a class and Caitlyn at Orchestra Hall, I decided to stay at the office later than on a usual Friday night and get some more work done. I suppose I stayed till 9:15. It felt great, and it meant that this morning I could sleep in (till 7:50, laughable by my kids' standards). Today I have some phone calls to make and a couple of other church-related items to do, but they are not many and I can do them from home. The day feels like Sabbath, a day to catch my breath before Holy Week starts tomorrow. It's a day to exercise, to let the sun fill me, to hang out with Caitlyn (Kay's class continues all day), to tackle some small house projects (yes, they feel like Sabbath--there's something about bringing order to one's basic living space that breathes life into my soul), to reflect on life and to pray. In sum, this day feels like gift, in which I feel myself "protected and rescued by God as the psalmist describes" in Psalm 16 (see reflection question #5). How about you? How has your energy been restored recently? --Brian
