"Each week as we experiment with embracing our enough-ness, reconnecting to our bodies, decoupling our value from our productivity, and receiving the gifts of rest and delight, we are partnering with the Spirit in discovering the abundant life Jesus came to offer us."
My friend, Tanya, planted nasturtium seeds and grew some for my birthday present. The bright orange blossoms begin to unfold this week, and every time I see them, I receive the "gifts of rest and delight".
Something that helps me reconnect with my body and decouple my value from my productivity is pushing preschoolers on our backyard swing. Listening to them squeal and ask for more over and over and over brings me joy and encourages me not to look at my watch or worry about my long list of things to do. The Holy Spirit uses these precious kiddos to discover the "abundant life that Jesus came to offer" in fresh, new ways.
