"Like the Shabbat celebrated by Christ, hyggelig rest is intentional and is designed to encourage you to stop holding your breath. It's an exhale, a release without which you'd have no room left in your life to receive. This simple posture of rest is deliberate surrender. It's a discipline and an act of humility."
~Jamie Erickson, "Holy Hygge: Creating a Place for People to Gather and the Gospel to Grow"
Ouch. I needed the reminder that Sabbath rest is deliberate surrender and an act of humility. I'm not good at either one of those things, which is why intentional rest is a discipline.
