Rest Notes

**Sit quietly, eyes closed and in silence for one minute before reading.**

     Talking with a friend, I was telling her of my time of rest and the things I was saying “no” to. God is calling me to rest right now. Her response to me was “even music has rest”. I loved the picture she gave me of music and how our lives are similar to a beautiful composition.

    I often think of crescendos, decrescendos, bridges, choruses, verses, different instruments as paralleling our life stories but forgot about the rest notes.

    How about you? Are you on a rest note? Is a rest note coming?

    How will you be attentive to God in His call to rest?

**Sit again in silence for as long as is available to you.**
