“When value is tied only to tangible results, the sacrament of presence becomes a dying significance . . . What if God’s highest expectation in the journey to a needy culture is engaging the sacrament of presence, being with people because we love them? Is our time with people valuable even if the time can’t be calculated into measured outcomes?”
– Shelly Miller, Rhythms of Rest
I’m seeing a theme in this week’s links and you’ll probably see it too. After working hard for months to launch my first online course, my soul is both satisfied and exhausted. (Though we’ve closed the doors for joining us this time around, you can sign up here to be notified when we open the doors again.)
Even when our work feels in tune with our gifting, it can still be tiring. Good work takes a lot out of us.
