Linking our lives in with the concept of a Sabbath rest will not change the world as directly as other suggestions might seem to do, but it is all a part of us finding a rhythm to our lives that respects our creaturely limits and provides space for us to develop our relationships with God, with each other, and with the rest of God's creation.

For Reflection
Take a week/two weeks/a month to carry out a time audit. Keep a note of all the things you do each day and how much time you spend on them. Have a look at the rhythm of your days. Are you happy with what you spend the most amount of time on? Are there things you wish you had the time for? What gaps or spaces are there in your days?

For Reflection
It has been said that a life lived with no silence is like reading a book with no spaces between the words. Have a look at how you can build regular stopping times into your day/week/month/season/year.
