And here we are with another tour from The Blog Tour Spot with this week’s Rest by Keri Wyatt Kent. We chose to read this book mainly because, well, we need it. Rest is something that has been quite a luxury, around my house anyway, for the past 6 almost 7 years. Yes, that’s the age of my oldest child. In Rest, Kent does a great job of explaining why we need rest especially on our Sabbath.
Unfortunately, our Sabbath gets a little hairy when my husband gets what we call “a case of the Sundays.” I’ve asked him to please, please choose any other day, just not our Sabbath. However, it stems from having a great weekend at home with the fam and his honest anticipation of what Monday morning will bring. A short disclaimer – my husband loves his job, it’s a great job, but Monday morning just seems to carry a weight…which I’m sure it does for most people.
Our typical Sunday is pretty restful, but there’s always room for improvement….late service church, Thai food at my mother-in-law’s, come home to an afternoon nap, play and catch up on work. What I loved best about Kent’s book were these words, “…progress, not perfection.” I like that. I think I’ll apply it to a few other things, too.
