While We are Sleeping

In this two part series, Pastor Maureen Stanek shares about rest. We are reminded that God is calling us - His people-  to a place of rest; to a place of abiding, ceasing from our own ways, our own thoughts, our own reasonings. We are called to take higher thoughts… looking closely at the Lord’s way of doing, being and living. We discover that it is a way of gentleness, loving, caring one for another, bearing one another’s burdens, and helping the weak. Are you tired of the chaos? There is an answer. “‘Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.  Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly.’”             Matthew 11: 28-30 The Message Translation
