The Abundant Agent

Sabbath-Keeping isn't just for you, it is also about you giving rest to others.

How can we practice the Sabbath in such a way as to provide rest for others and to value the full humanity of others? As well as providing rest for all of creation (animals, the land, water, etc).

Faith and work includes resting from our work and reflecting on that valuable rest.

On this faith and work friday, we come back to Sabbath to consider how practicing Sabbath-Keeping will give you a greater sense of your personal value irrespective of your productivity and "doing."

Practicing Sabbath brings rest, rejuvenation, and higher levels of productivity in the other 6 days.

As you look to integrate your faith life with your work life, consider Sabbath-Keeping as an invaluable practice. This will help you dedicate your work to God and enter into sacred rest and worship while away from work.
