Dear Beloveds,
Take a deep breath with me—an expansive, healing exhale. Let us come together in a moment of stillness, free from the whirlwind of doing, achieving, and supporting. This is a sacred invitation to revel in the beauty of simply being. We, as individuals and as a community, have accomplished so much. Together, we have shown resilience, care, and strength. Now is the time to honor those efforts by allowing ourselves to rest.
Why does it feel so challenging to sit beneath the shady trees, a cool glass of water in hand, and embrace the art of doing nothing? I invite you to reflect on this with me. It is a question rooted in my own journey of self-discovery, as I learn to nurture my personal sustainability. There’s no denying the vibrancy we bring to the world when we are active, but equally important is the renewal we find in rest.
This week’s message, "Embracing the Power of Renewal," calls us to reimagine our relationship with rest and restoration. Can we allow ourselves the grace to pause without guilt? To experience the stillness as a source of vitality? Just as nature has seasons of growth and retreat, we, too, need moments of retreat to replenish and renew.
Please join us on Sunday as we embrace the opportunity to be together knowing that renewal is not a luxury; it is the foundation of a thriving, balanced life.
Much Love, Rev. Karin
