Sunday Rest... with the scriptures...

Restfulness is not meant to be an every-now-and-then pleasure that we treat ourselves with. God encourages us to experience restfulness often, and even set aside one of His days during creation for REST. As we rest on Sundays around our house, I choose to read while resting, and my choice reading is always from the Bible - God's holy Word.

This week, I was introduced to two excellent videos...

a dramatic presentation by Max McLean...
The Gospel of Mark - onstage,

a moving 5 minute story of a tiny nation getting 1st copy of the Word, printed in THEIR OWN language...
Kimyal New Testament launch in Indonesia

These would be excellent RESTFUL reading for today!

"Place these words on your hearts. Get them deep inside you. Tie them on your hands and foreheads as a reminder. Teach them to your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning until you fall into bed at night. Inscribe them on the doorposts and gates of your cities so that you'll live a long time, and your children with you, on the soil that God promised to give your ancestors for as long as there is a sky over the Earth. "

Deuteronomy 11: 18-22 (The Message)
